Heat 2 sp ghee in a kadai add semolina and saute on low flame till the raw smell goes away. In the meantime, boil water in a another bowl. Then pour hot water carefully into it. Mix well and cook until soft, then add in elaichi powder, sugar and mix well, keep stirring continuously on low-medium flame. Add the remaining ghee, stir well and cook until the halwa thickens and leaves the sides of the pan. Now suji halwa/sheera is ready for modak. Let it leave for a couple of mins. Once cooled, mix well with your hand. Grease little ghee to modak mould, take small portion of the suji halwa and insert into the mould and press it, then open the mould, remove the modak carefully and keep it on a plate, do the same process with the remaining suji halwa. Now mouth-watering dessert Halwa Modak is ready. Served as naivedyam to Lord Ganesh during Vinayaka Chavithi festival.Ingredients
