To begin preparing the Apple Cinnamon Modaks, combine maida, sooji or rava and rice flour together with salt.

Add milk and start kneading until the dough is soft.

Once it comes together, add the ghee and knead well once again.

Keep the dough covered with a cloth, to rest for 15 minutes

In a Saucepan on a medium flame, add the apple pieces and brown sugar an cook the mixture till the sugar dissolves and the apples become soft.

Take it off the flame and add the cinnamon powder to it.

Cool it down a bit before shaping the modaks.

Divide the dough into 8 portions the and keep remaining portions covered with a moist cloth to prevent drying.

Take one portion, roll into a ball and placing it on your palm, start flattening it out with the other hand, using fingers to make the edges thinner than the center. The disc you get should be about an inch in diameter.

Form the disc into a bowl shape and then add a spoonful of the filling.

Pinch the edges upwards and the bring them together to form the classic modak shape, making sure its sealed properly at the top. Giving it a pointy tip.

Fry these modaks in hot oil till they are golden brown and crisp.

The Apple Cinnamon Modaks are now ready to become the talk of your festive celebrations!
