Quick 5-Minute Mawa Recipe for Grainy and Aromatic Gujiya Filling

New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): Making mawa (khoya) for gujiya can now be a breeze, thanks to this quick 5-minute trick. Traditional methods of making mawa usually take a lot of time, but with this technique, you can prepare a grainy and aromatic mawa in just a few minutes, perfect for stuffing your gujiyas.

To start, take a heavy-bottomed pan and heat it over medium flame. Add 1 cup of full-fat milk powder and ½ cup of milk. Stir constantly to ensure the mixture doesn’t stick to the pan. After a minute or two, the milk and milk powder will combine, forming a crumbly, granular texture. Now, add 1-2 tablespoons of ghee and continue stirring for another 2-3 minutes.

Once the mixture thickens and turns golden, add cardamom powder and a pinch of saffron to bring in a wonderful aroma and enhance the flavor. For an even more aromatic finish, you can also mix in a few chopped nuts of your choice. The mawa is now ready to be used as the filling for gujiya.

This trick not only saves time but also ensures that the mawa becomes grainy and perfectly aromatic, making your gujiya filling irresistibly delicious.

In the world of quick and tasty recipes, this is a game-changer for anyone eager to enjoy fresh, homemade gujiya without spending too much time in the kitchen.
