·         Avoid the 1^st step. Instead directly keep water to boil. When it starts to boil, repeat the whole process as above but add ghee instead of oil.

·         After the rawa mixture is made, keep aside for cooling.

·         Meanwhile prepare jaggery & coconut mixture usually made for stuffing in modaks.

·         In a non stick kadai, take grated coconut; add jaggery (gul) according to your taste. Mix well. Add elachi powder. Stir till mixture is dry.

·         Now after both mixtures have cooled, take little of rawa mixture, flatten it on your palms & fill with sweet coconut mixture. Shape it in round or oval balls.

·         Now steam it for 10 min as above.

·         Serve hot with desi ghee.
