My version of Banana Modak

*NOTE- these recipes need not be unique to me. These are everyday
recipes with a few moderations I've made. If someone has thought of
similar ideas, I claim on knowledge of it.

5. Banana modak.
You will need:
~ 2 diced elakki banana.
~ 1 cup jaggery roughly broken into chunks.
~ 1 cup roasted groundnuts.
~ 1 tbsp roasted sesame seeds.
~ 2 cup fine rice flour.
~ water, for making dough and steaming.

Things to do:
+ boil about 2cups water thoroughly. Make a well of dry rice flour seasoned with a little salt. Pour a quarter of the water in the cavity and immediately mix briskly with a spoon to make a granular flour. Keep aside to cool.
+ when it reaches room temperature, add normal water little by little and knead with hands to make a pliable dough.
+ grind together groundnuts, jaggery and sesame seeds to granular texture. Take in a bowl. Add in the banana.
+ take a fist size chunk of dough, smoothen it out and flatten to thick saucer with your hands. You can use oil to grease your hands.
+ place a spoonful of the mixture in middle and carefully close into a crescent.
+ seal the edges by pressing the mouth lightly. Repeat for other pieces.
+ steam for 20mins. Serve warm.
