Rich and Flavorful Sevai Modak for Ganesh Chaturthi

RECIPE CUISINE: Indian

RECIPE CATEGORY: Sweet

COOK TIME: 10-15 MIN

SERVING: 10-15

Sevai Modak is an easy recipe yet rich with just 4 ingredients. It turns out delicious, yummy and crunchy, that all would surely love and those who are fond of baklawa sweets will surely love this undoubtedly. You can either use modak mould or just bind as laddoos with the help of your hands.

INGREDIENTS:

Sevai (long roasted vermicelli) - 1 pack

Condense milk - 1/2 cup ( or as per the need )

Ghee - 2-3 tablespoons

Pistachios - 1/4 cup (chopped nuts, as per your taste)

METHOD:

• Heat a non-stick deep pan , add ghee in it.
  
• Crush the Sevai with the hands, and put it to roast in the pan.
• Keep stirring it on medium flame, till it turns slightly golden brown.
• Add condense milk, little by little, you will see that slowly the mixture shines and it starts binding with each other.
• Add pistachios at this point.
• Turn off the flame, and check with your hands to make it as laddoo. (just grease your hands before binding)
  
• If you want to make modak, grease the mould with ghee and fill the mixture. Level the bottom.
• Unmould carefully and arrange in a plate. (better to use cupcake liners to give a beautiful look)

NOTES:

• If you want less sweet, add little milk to bind the mixture (at the point when you add condense milk) but make sure it does not turns out soggy, as the crunch of sevai is not gone.
• Keep in an airtight container.
• Can last 4-5 days if properly followed.
• You can use sugar syrup instead of condensed milk. But I prefer condense milk of nestle to give that rich taste of sweetness.

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi! Happy cooking! Enjoy.
