Instructions
- Assemble: all the ingredients.
- Add ghee to a heavy-bottomed pan. Crumble mawa. Mix and cook for 3-4 minutes on a medium-low flame. Add 1 tablespoon of pistachios and save 1 tablespoon for later.
- Stir in sugar and keep mixing. Do not leave the mawa mixing unattended at any time or it will start sticking to the pan. Add rose essence and mix again.
- As the sugar will start to melt the mixture will become thin. Continue to cook the mixture on a medium-low flame for another 2-3 minutes.
- Keep stirring until all the moisture is absorbed and the mixture comes together like a dough. TIP- If the mixture is still thin and runny, add a teaspoon of milk powder, adjust sugar and mix again.
