First, boil some water in a pot. Add 1 gm saffron, shredded rose and hibiscus petals to the boiling water and boil till it releases a bright red colour.
2.
To the mixture, first add rice flour and mix together followed by ragi flour. Mix it well to form a consistency of dough and let it rest for 10 mins.
3.
For the stuffing, add chopped figs, chopped dates, grated coconut, rose and hibiscus petals, remaining saffron and cardamom powder to a pan and mix well.
4.
Cook this mixture for 5 minutes to lightly roast it till all ingredients are mixed well and set aside. Take a bit of dough and roll into a ball 2 inches wide.

With a rolling pin, roll out the dough ball as thin as possible into a round shape. Place the round sheet on your palm and add a spoonful of the stuffing in the center.

Pinch the ends of the sheet together, forming pleats as you go around the sheet. Slowly close the pleats together till the tips meet and pinch the top to close the opening.

Repeat the process with the remaining modaks. Place a steamer in a pan filled with water.

Line the steamer with a banana leaf, grease it with some oil and place the modaks for steaming. Steam for 10 mins.

Remove from the steamer and garnish with petals and saffron. Serve hot.
