Introduction – Hello friends, we welcome you to the Khana Khilana Recipe blog. Today we will tell you about a delicious sweet recipe which can be prepared very quickly. Mawa Barfi is a delicious dish made by boiling milk and then roasting it well.
In villages, milch animals like cows and buffaloes are reared, which give milk daily. Often, when excess milk gets collected, the women of the house boil the milk, make mawa from it and prepare mawa barfi, which is eaten with great relish by children and elders in the house and this sweet lasts for 5 or 6 days. More milk is also used and everyone in the house gets a delicious home-made sweet dish.
In cities, dairy animals are not reared due to lack of space, so people here buy readymade mawa from the market and use it to make delicious mawa barfi and other dishes at home. People often offer mawa barfi as prasad after worshipping God in temples.
Many types of barfi and other sweets are prepared by mixing mawa with many other ingredients. These are available at different rates according to the ingredients, but mawa barfi is available in the market at the lowest rates compared to other Indian sweets.
To make this delicious dish, put mawa in a pan and roast it well, then add sugar and roast it and after it is ready, add dry fruits and cardamom powder as per your choice, and when it cools down, set it well in a deep plate and freeze it. After keeping it for 2 to 3 hours, cut the barfi in square shape and serve it. So let’s make this delicious dish.
