DATE-COCONUT-NUTS FILLED MODAK!

INGREDIENTS
for filling
dates 8-10 de-seeded & chopped into small bits/ crushed
coconut grated  1/2 cup
almonds, cashew, pistachios crushed  1/4 cup

for covering
maida/ all purpose flour  200 gm
milk  3-4 tbsp

salt a pinch
knead all together with water to make a soft dough
in about 2 tbsp of dough add saffron pdr., knead well, so you get a lovely yellow colour

oil for frying

METHOD
take small portion of the dough roll to make about 4 cm circle, take a small portion of yellow dough, roll into long, thin strip, cut into half, keep it across the rolled dough to make a plus sign, then roll it lightly, as this will give a nice design when you fry modak !
put the filling in the middle of  the dough, bring together from corner little by little to form a nice design. when all are made, fry in medium hot oil till brown, drain.
this will last for at least a week, if it lasts that long !
