Heat a pan over medium heat. Add sesame seeds and roast them. Keep stirring continuously to prevent burning. Once roasted, transfer the sesame seeds to a plate and let them cool. Grind half the roasted sesame coarsely. Then mix it with the roasted sesame seeds kept aside after grinding it. Crumble or grate the mawa. In a pan, cook the mawa over low heat until it’s melted and releases a nice aroma. Keep stirring to avoid sticking to the bottom. |
