Ingredients
- coconut flakes (2 cups)
- 7 oz brown sugar or grated jaggery (1 cup)
- 2¾ oz mixed dried fruit, finely chopped
- 1 tsp ghee, plus extra for greasing
- 2 tbsp water
Method
- Lightly grease a modak mould, or a small heatproof cup, with ghee.
- Put the coconut flakes in a dry pan over a low heat and toast for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant and just turning golden at the edges. Tip onto a plate.
- Add the brown sugar or jaggery and the water to the pan and stir over a low heat until melted into a syrup. Simmer for 1 minute.
- Return the coconut to the pan with the dried fruit and ghee. Cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens and holds together when pressed.
- Take off the heat and leave until cool enough to handle but still warm and pliable.
- Press the mixture firmly into the modak mould, or shape by hand into small ridged cones. Unmould and leave to set completely, about 30 minutes, before serving.
