Mawa Chikki is a traditional Indian sweet snack made by combining mawa (khoya), a dense milk-based ingredient, with sugar or jaggery. The mawa is cooked until it reaches a soft, fudgy consistency, and then mixed with sugar or jaggery to create a rich, melt-in-the-mouth texture. The mixture is spread evenly on a flat surface, allowed to cool slightly, and then cut into bite-sized square or diamond-shaped pieces.
This sweet treat is known for its creamy, indulgent flavor and smooth texture, offering a delightful contrast to nutty or crunchy chikkis like peanut or sesame. Mawa Chikki is often prepared during festivals like Diwali and Makar Sankranti, and is cherished for its simplicity and rich taste. It’s a perfect blend of tradition and sweetness, making it a favorite among all age groups.
