Chocolate Modak Recipe | How to make Chocolate Modak with stepwise pics and a short YouTube video. If you like my video, please SUBSCRIBE to my youtube channel. This is a super easy modak made with 3 main ingredients only, Khoya/mawa, chocolate and sugar. The interesting part is, there is no steaming for this modak recipe, just put all the 3 ingredients in a pan, mix till it forms a mass and shape it. I have used a mould to shape this modak, you can use chocolate moulds or shape with your hands or make like a peda. Also, this modak stays good for a week under refrigeration and my kids who never touch any modak, loved it a lot, so it is definitely a kids friendly recipe too.

Notes
Tips on How to make Chocolate Modak
1. Use good quality chocolate chips and cocoa powder for a nice taste. 2. The addition of cocoa powder is optional. But it lends a more chocolate flavor to the modak. 3. Chocolate chips can be replaced with grated chocolate too. I used dark coloured chocolate chips. 4. The colour of the Chocolate Modak Recipe changes accordingly to the variety of chocolate chips used. 5. Adjust sugar as per sweetness required, but not more else the modak won't be firm. 6. Switch off the flame when the mixture forms a mass itself, otherwise, the modak turns dense. 7. For a different flavour, 2 drops of vanilla essence or 1/4 tsp of cardamom powder or even cinnamon powder can be added to the modak mixture. 8. Always cool the mixture a bit (for 10 minutes) and then make modak, so it will be firm. 9. This Modak stays good for 1 week under refrigeration. Even you can make the mixture alone, refrigerate it and make modak when needed.
