Rave modaka or rava modak recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. Rave modaka or rave kadubu is prepared using fine rava, milk, jaggery and coconut. Rave modaka is a very easy and tasty modak or kadubu recipe. It is a no-steaming modaka and is prepared during ganesha festival.
I have stuffed the hoorana and prepared the modaka using hands. You can do the same using modaka or karjikai mould. Also here in this recipe, since the rava is cooked, there is no need to steam the modaka. However if you wish you can steam it for 5 minutes.
Through out Karnataka varities of sweets and dishes are prepared to celebrate Ganesha chathurthi, a Hindu festival. Chakkuli, kayi kadubu, kari kadubu, modaka, panchakajjaya, varieties of laddus, usli..like this the list goes on.
I have posted many Karnataka style sweet recipes like halu bai, thambittu, roasted gram laddu, carrot halwa, rava kesari bath, banana halwa, coconut burfi and badam puri recipes.

Instructions for making rave modaka:
- Take water and milk in a container and keep it for boiling.
- Add in 1/2 tsp ghee and salt.
- When it starts boiling add in rava all at once.
- Mix well for 2 - 3 minutes under low flame until rava is cooked and thick. Switch off the stove. Set it aside.
- Next take grated coconut, powdered jaggery and cardamom in a pan. Start stirring under low flame.
- Stir well for few minutes. Initially it will leave out the water.
- When the excess water has dried, switch off the stove. Do not make it fully dry because after cooling it will become hard. Hoorana or stuffing is ready. Keep it aside.
- Now grease your fingers with ghee and knead the rava dough well.
- Pinch and take a lemon sized dough and make it flat.
- Place 1 tsp of hoorana or stuffing in the middle.
- Bring the edges together and seal it. Give it a modaka shape.
- Like this finish making all the modakas. No need to steam this modaka, however if you wish you can steam it for 5 minutes.
