Coconut Rose Modak- Stuffed sweet Dumplings made with coconut and condensed milk

Coconut rose modak is specially made on Ganesh Chaturthi/Vinayak Chaturthi which is a very popular festival in India. Different varieties of sweets and Naivaidhyams are made during Ganapati Pooja.
Sweet Modaks of different varieties are made and offered to Lord Ganesh. There are many versions, flavours and variety of making modaks – the one I am sharing today is an easy and quick method of making coconut modak.
The dough is made of desiccated coconut and condensed milk and stuffed with Gulkand/rose petal preserve and nuts. I have used a modak mould, but you can shape them as a ball and make laddoo and roll them in some desiccated coconut.

I have also posted the recipe of- Paneer and Coconut ladoo , Besan ladoo ,Till ke ladoo and Pineapple sandesh , Kaju Gulkand Ladoo, which you can offer as Naivaidhya to Ganeshji

Notes

NOTE-
1-You may need around-3 to 3.5 cup of desiccated coconut,remember that the mixture should not be sticky, it should be like a dough.
2-Milk powder is added to give some body to the dough and reduce stickiness.
3-If want to avoid stuffing then you can add the gulkand to the dough itself and shape in modak or laddoo.
