Cook Time 30 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams fresh good quality Mawa crumbled or grated
  • 170 to 200 grams sugar adjust according to taste
  • 1 tablespoon charoli/chironji
  • grated nutmeg or green cardamom powder if you desire.

Method
 

  1. In a thick bottomed Kadai, mix the Mawa and sugar.
  2. Place the Kadai on a slow flame and cook the mixture until it reaches the colour you see in the Penda picture here.
  3. If you want them to be a little darker continue to cook till you achieve your desired colour.
  4. Do not forget to stir the mixture even while it is off the gas but in the same hot pan.
  5. The Penda mixture will continue to cook even while it is cooling and the hot pan might scorch it. So keep stirring
  6. Once the mixture has cool enough to handle, roll them into small Penda and if you have Penda mould shape them in the mould.
  7. Dot each Penda with couple of charoli.
  8. Store in an air tight container.
