STEP 2 – After melting butter, add fresh cream to it. Mix well and cook it with continuous stir for 1-2 minute.

STEP 3 – Now add milk in it. Combine milk with the cream mixture. Keep stirring continuously otherwise the mixture will stick to the bottom.

STEP 4 – Add milk powder and mix it well with the pan mixture. Add milk powder gradually and not at one time. No lumps should be there.

STEP 5 – Cook the mixture until it gets thickened. It gets collected together to form a ball.

STEP 6 – When the mixture turns thick and get collected in the center like a dough, it means mawa is ready.  Switch off the flame.

Increase the quantity of butter, i.e. take 4 tablespoon butter.

Use always unsalted butter for making mawa.
