How to make?

Heat a pan keeping the flame low & add mawa in it and stir for 2 minutes .
Now, add sugar to it and stir continuously till sugar melts and the mixture thickens.
Now, take a small portion of the mixture in your finger tips and check if you can make a ball out of it without the mixture sticking on your fingers. Once you can make a small ball out it, your mixture is ready. At this stage, add Rose Essence/Rose Water/Elaichi Powder in the mixture.
Now, divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Keep 1 white portion aside and add 3 Food Colours in the remaining 3 portions & mix well.
Now, take a rolling pin and board (Chakla Belan) and roll all the 4 portions in an oval shape (oval shaped rotis).
Then, take white oval portion, place all the 3 remaining colourful portions one above the other one above the other.
Now, make a roll using your hands.
Let the roll dry for 1 to 1.5 hours. (Tip: In case you don't have 1 hour, you can refrigerate this roll for 15-20 minutes)
Now, cut the roll as shown in the above picture or in any other shape of choice.
Your Colourful Mawa Barfi is all ready to be enjoyed!
