For the uninitiated, mawa is nothing but milk solids, left behind by heating the milk on low heat for hours until all the moisture is evaporated. This resultant dough left behind is mawa or khoya or khoa- milk solids which are used practically for most Indian sweets and savory dishes like the basic white gravy in Punjabi cuisine.

I’ve shared a few Indian sweet recipes using mawa powder in my earlier posts, like this kesar (saffron) peda, mango mawa burfi, and chocolate mawa peda. In terms of savory dishes, I’ve used little milk mawa powder to make this delicious methi matar malai paneer, cites aromaticessence.

1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp ground cardamom

1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup mawa/khoya
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup low-fat yogurt

Garnish

1 tbsp pistachios chopped

Instructions

Prep

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Butter an 8-inch springform pan.
Set aside the dry ingredients... flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cardamom.

Prepare the Batter

Using an electric hand blender, mix the softened butter until creamy.

Add the sugar to the creamed butter, blend for a couple of minutes until the butter and sugar form a creamy mixture.

Like so.

Add the vanilla extract and mawa/khoya. Blend for about a minute until all the ingredients are well combined.

Now add all the dry ingredients. Blend for about 30 seconds until the flour has incorporated into the butter-sugar mixture. The batter should be crumbly.

Add the milk and yogurt. Using a spatula, fold the milk and yogurt into the flour mixture. DO NOT MIX, FOLD THE MIXTURE.

Pour the batter into the springform pan. Top with chopped nuts.

Into the oven for 45-55 minutes. I baked my Mawa Cake for exactly 52 minutes.

Enjoy with a cup of tea!
