Method:

Take water in a sauce pan and heat it till it boils. Once it reaches a good boil, take it off the heat and add in salt and oil. Add in rice flour and make it into a dough. Cover it and let it rest till it gets warm.

While the dough is cooling, take sesame seeds in a kadai and roast it till it pops.

Now take the dough in a bowl and Knead it well. Divide into equal portions.

Take a ball and spread it thinly, place a spoonful of filling in the center and cover it carefully and pinch the top to form a modak shape.

Place this in a steamer plate and steam for 8 to 10 mins. Remove it carefully and let it cool.

Now remove the modak and serve.
