How to make Chocolate Modak

Step 1: In a pan, heat ghee, Nestlé MILKMAID, and milk. Cook on low flame and stir continuously until it boils.

Step 3: Continue cooking on medium flame until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan. Remove from the flame and transfer onto a plate.
Step 4: When slightly cooled, shape the mixture into modaks and serve!

Tips to Make Chocolate Modak

Carefully measure each ingredient, as given in the Chocolate Modak recipe, to achieve the desired texture and consistency.
Combine the chocolate slurry and condensed milk in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent burning or clumping.
Make sure the mixture is smooth and thick enough to hold its shape when moulded into modaks.
Let the Chocolate Modaks cool at room temperature for a few hours or place them in the refrigerator for quicker setting.
For an elegant touch, garnish the Chocolate Modaks with finely chopped nuts or edible gold or silver foil.

FAQs on Chocolate Modak Recipe

1. Can I make Chocolate Modaks without mould?

Yes, just take a portion of the mixture while it's still warm, roll it into a small ball, and then gently press down on the base to create a modak-like shape. You can also shape it into a peda or any other shape you like.

2. Why did my Chocolate Modak turn hard?

Overcooking the mixture can turn your Chocolate Modak hard. Ensure you cook cocoa powder and condensed milk on medium heat, stirring continuously until smooth. Adding a touch of ghee can also prevent excessive hardening.

3. Why is the Chocolate Modak not holding its shape?

If your Chocolate Modak isn't holding its shape, it may require further cooking. To fix this, continue cooking the mixture for a few extra minutes, then test it by rolling a small amount into a ball. If it holds its shape, the mixture is prepared and ready for moulding.

4. How to store it?

You can store Chocolate Modaks in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two. For longer shelf life, refrigerate them in an airtight container.
