Now put rice flour in a bowl and mix it with a pinch of salt. After this, add 2 tsp ghee to the flour and knead a soft dough by adding hot water. Now, cover the dough for some time and keep it aside. After this take the dough and make small balls out of it. Now take a ball and press it lightly and prepare its edges giving it the shape of a flower.
After this, put the prepared stuffing in it and seal it properly by joining all four edges. Similarly, prepare all the modaks one by one. Now put ghee in a pan and heat it on medium flame.
