Ganapati Special Prasad: Paan Modak

Paan - the Indian digestive has a very versatile flavour. It blends into icecreams, laddoos, milk shakes, kulfis and now modaks. I have made these on two occasions and everyone has loved them! This portion makes about 25 medium size modaks.

Ingredients:

75 grams mawa ~ 3/4 cup grated mawa
4 Meetha Paans (with Gulkand, shredded Coconut, and Tutti fruiti)
1/4 cup Gulkand
1 1/2 cup desiccated Coconut 
1/4 cup fancy Mukhvas (Indian mouth freshener with fennel seeds, nuts, peppermint flavour)
2 drops Green colour 

Crush the paans with its fillings - gulkand and coconut shreds. Also crush the additional gulkand along with the paan. 

In a deep bowl, take the grated mawa, paan mixture, tutti fruiti and mukhvas. Add 2-3 drops of liquid colour. Mix well. Now add the dessicated coconut and mix till it is uniform in colour. 

As coconut is naturally oily, you do not need to grease the mould. Make a ball and press into a mould. Close the mould to form a complete modak. You may need to trim the edges when you demould. 

Enjoy!
