Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon Milk
  • 7-8 strands Saffron
  • 250 grams or 2 ½ cups khoya (Mawa) crumbled or grated, lightly packed
  • ½ cup Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Make saffron-milk mixture: Mix crushed saffron into the warm milk. This way saffron will infuse its flavor and color in the milk to the max. Keep it aside.
  • Cook khoya & sugar: Take khoya and sugar in a pan on medium heat. Mix and cook. As the sugar melts it becomes a paste-like consistency.
  • Add saffron-milk & cook: Now add saffron-milk. Mix and continue cooking till it becomes thick like a dough. You’ll notice some fat starts to ooze out from sides. It takes around 4-5 minutes.
  • Cool to warm: Remove it to a plate and let it cool to touch (warm). "NOTE: Don’t let the mixture cool completely."
  • Shape: Grease the mould using ghee and start shaping while still the mixture is warm. How to: Keep the mould close, start stuffing tightly from the bottom hole. Then open and gently unmould. Keep arranging on the plate.

Notes

  • It’s rich and heavy. If you get smaller sized Moulds that are perfect.
  • Shape them while still the mixture is warm. If you let it cool down, then you won’t be able to shape right.
  • You can add a teaspoon of kewra water or rose water into the mixture for a nice aroma.
