In a large bowl, take grated mawa and knead it for about 1 to 2 minutes. Then add maida, cardamom powder, and baking powder. Mix until well combined.
Start adding warm milk, little by little until it all comes together as a dough. Don’t knead too much, just bring it all together to a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
In a wide pan add sugar and water. Bring it to a boil. Add cardamom pods, saffron strands, rose water, and lemon juice. Let it simmer for 5 to 6 minutes on medium heat.
Once it’s a little sticky, remove the pan from heat and set aside. Keep it aside and let it come to a warm temperature.
Now give a quick knead to the dough. Divide into 30 equal parts. Squeeze between your palm to form a smooth round ball with no cracks.
