Show the calling code with sample data so we have an idea of what you do with this function.

Advise:
- Double line spacing adds nothing to your code, it just make it more difficult to read.
- Learn to indent properly your code, it show its structure and it helps reading and understanding. It also helps spotting structures mistakes.

static int size=0,source=0;
int ans=0;
void moddfs(int** edges,int N,int s,int visited[])
{
    visited[s]=1;
    if(size<3)
    {
        for(int i=0;i<N;i++)
        {
            if(size==0)
            {
                source=s;
            }
            if(!visited[i] && edges[s][i])
            {
                size++;
                moddfs(edges,N,i,visited);
            }
        }
    }
    else{
        if(edges[source][s])
        {
            ans++;
        }
    }
    visited[s]=0;
    size--;
}

Indentation style - Wikipedia[^]

Professional programmer's editors have this feature and others ones such as parenthesis matching and syntax highlighting.

Sure I can give you directly a solution, but it will be magic to you, you will learn nothing from it.
Improving an algorithm is optimization.
There is basically 2 aspects:
- Code optimization: when code is inefficient because of quick and dirty writing. You can use profiling to spot bottle necks. Profiling (computer programming) - Wikipedia[^]
- Algorithm optimization: This is where you can gain big. This means a deep understanding of the problem and of algorithm used. The cycles 1234, 2341, 3412, 4123, 4321, 3214, 2143 and 1432 are all the same cycle, you have to establish rules to keep only 1 of them.
You have to see if other rules can do the trick and be more efficient.
Example: say that first node in cycle is the minimum node number in the cycle, it lead to an improvement because you don't need to try possible links with lower nodes number trough the cycle.
Is recursion the best way to get answers ?
