Nutella Stuffed Modak

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

   • In a blender, combine the soaked dates, roasted hazelnuts, and cocoa powder.
   • Blend until the mixture forms a sticky, dough-like consistency that can be shaped easily.
     
     

2. Shape the Modak:

   • Grease a Modak mould with a little oil to prevent sticking.
   • Take a small portion of the blended mixture and press it into the mould, creating a hollow space in the center.
     
     

3. Stuff with Nutella:

   • Add a small spoonful of Nutella into the hollow center of the Modak.
   • Gently press more of the date mixture over the Nutella to seal it.
     
     

4. Finish and Garnish:

   • Carefully open the mould and remove the modak. Repeat the process for the remaining mixture.
   • Garnish each modak with chopped hazelnuts for added crunch and flavour.
     
     

5. Serve or Chill:

   • Serve immediately for a soft texture, or chill in the refrigerator for a firmer bite.
