Caramel modaks are made by freshly prepared caramel syrup that is added to the suji mixture. Then give them a modak’s unique dome shape using a modak mould. We can shape them even without using any mould.

No baking or steaming is require in the making of these delicious modaks. I always prefer to keep the sugar quantity on the lower side so as in these modaks. But if you want them sweeter, then add 3-4 tablespoons of more sugar to it.

Ingredients required

Suji – Rava suji is used in this recipe but can be replaced with fine suji as well if you like or you can grind it first and then use it.

Milk– I have used toned milk. For a richer taste, use full-fat milk.

White sugar– granulated sugar is used to make the caramel syrup. Other sugar alternatives like coconut sugar, palm sugar or brown sugar can be used but I have not tried with them yet. So, if someone will try then please share your results with us.

Coconut powder – Dry unsweetened desiccated coconut powder is used. It enhances the flavour of the modak.

Butterscotch essence – addition of butterscotch flavour with caramel flavour gives a very unique taste and improves flavour. You can skip it if you do not like it.
