For the outer layer ( exterior) instead of rice flour, I thought of using cashews and for the filling, I picked caramel instead of jaggery. And guess what? They were a huge hit, I made about 15 modak and they were gone within a couple of hours.

CASHEW CARAMEL MODAK
This cashew caramel modak is a delicious and amazing combination of nutty flavours cashews and coconut. They are quick and easy to make and you'll need only five basic ingredients.
prep time: 5 Mcook time: 15 Mtotal time: 20 M
ingredients:
- 300g cashew meal -ground cashew powder
- 6 tbsp. full-fat milk powder
- 200 g desiccated coconut
- 1/2 tin or 200ml sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 tin or 200ml caramel
- 2 tsp. ghee or unsalted butter
instructions:
How to cook CASHEW CARAMEL MODAK
- Place ground cashew powder in a non-stick pan, add condensed milk and 1 tsp. ghee.
- Mix well and cook the mixture over medium heat until everything combines well.
- Add milk powder to make a firm dough and turn off the heat.
- Transfer the mixture to another plate and bring it to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, prepare coconut and caramel filling.
- Add desiccated coconut in a non-stick pan and dry roast for a few minutes without burning it.
- Add caramel and combine everything.
- Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool for a while.
- Apply little ghee on your palm and knead the coconut mixture to make a smooth dough and divide the dough into equal portions and make a ball.
- I have used modak mould to prepare modak.
- Grease the inside of the mould with little ghee.
- Put one ball into the mould, and press the mould tightly.
- Then make a hole by pressing with your fingers.
- Add coconut mixture and slightly press everything.
- Pinch a little cashew dough from the remaining balls and seal the open part of the modak.
- Remove it from the mould and repeat the procedure with the remaining dough and mixture.
- Let it stand for a couple of hours. Enjoy!
NOTES:
Instead of caramel, dulce de leche can be used for this recipe.
Don't have modak mould? make round balls instead and stuff it with caramel mixture.
