Ingredients
- 200 grams khoya/ Mawa
- 200 grams powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoon Ghee/Butter
- 8-10 cardamon powder
- A few drops of Kewra essence / Rose essence optional
Instructions
-
Take a heavy bottom wok because khoya/mava intends to stick at the bottom. Place it over medium low flame and melt the ghee.
-
Add khoya to the wok and saute for about 12 to 15 minutes till khoya turns into brown color. Stir it continuously to avoid burn at the bottom.
-
When khoya turns brown, switch off the flame and keep it aside for cooling down slightly (enough to handle with bare hands).
-
Now add sugar, cardamom powder and kewra essence in the mixture. Mix it well or rub the mixture with hands to combine it well.
-
Now make lemon size balls of this mixture and give them any shape you like.
-
Let them air dry for 1 to 2 hours to become hard.
