Mawa

Mawa is made from milk by boiling it (and continuously stirring it so that it doesn't stick) till it becomes a thick paste. It is not condensed milk as it is not a uniform thick fluid but a paste with lots of soft granules.

The milk will not become a thick paste if it does not contain enough fat, instead it will become a solid mass. The ideal milk for this comes from a Buffalo. For Cow's milk add a little cream around 10% by volume.

It is the basic ingredient in many Indian Sweets (from the Buffalo^WCow belt). Including the Holy festival's must have sweet Gujhia.
