There are various varieties of Modaks that are made during the Ganesha festival as Modaks and ladoos are considered as the favourite sweets of Lord Ganesha.
I've already shared the recipe of two types of modak Coconut Modak/Ladoo/Barfi and Chocolate Modak.
This is another very easy recipe of Modak which mainly uses only two ingredients which is Khoya/Mawa and sugar. You can add various dry fruits to it but I've made it plain as my kids like it that way.
I've just added a bit of elaichi (green cardamom) powder for taste.

This is a quick recipe which will not take more than 30 minutes from start to end and would be gobbled up equally fast.
INGREDIENTS
250 gms khoya/mawa(evaporated milk solids)
100 gms sugar ( you can adjust the quantity as per your taste)
1/4 tea spoon elaichi (cardamom powder)
METHOD
1. Roughly crumble the khoya and add to a heavy bottomed kadai. Keep the flame on medium. Stir it a few times. It will start melting.
2. Once it starts melting add the sugar to it. Cook it for a few minutes.
3. The Khoya will start releasing its fat. Add the cardamom/elaichi powder.
4. The mixture will start thickening. Turn the flame to low and cook for 2-3 minutes more. Switch off the gas.
Do not over cook as the mixture will thicken after cooling down too.
5. When the mixture is warm and you are able to handle it with your hands start making small balls from it. Put it in a Modak mould to give the shape. You can also shape them like ladoos or barfi.
