  1. Heat jaggery with quarter cup of water and filter the liquid. Reboil the same and bring it to thick syrup. Add the coconut flakes plus cardamom and prepare a solid stuffing. Set aside to cool.
  2. Spread the rice flour in a clean cheese cloth and fold them. Now steam the same for 10 minutes.
  3. Transfer the warm flour to a wide vessel. Mix salt to luke warm water. Now slowly add this water to the flour and make a smooth dough. Make equal parts out of it.
  4. In a oil smeared sheet (I used plantain leaves). Place the roundels. Cover the sheet (or leaf) and using your finger tip flatten them. Now place a spoonful of filling in it. Repeat the same for all the remaining dough.
  5. Steam these for about 10-12 minutes. Unwrap the plantain leaf and serve the contents (Modhak).
