Mawa Bati is a rich and indulgent Indian sweet made with khoya (mawa), stuffed with dry fruits, deep-fried until golden, and soaked in fragrant sugar syrup. Using King’s Soyabean Oil ensures even frying and a perfectly crisp outer layer while keeping the inside soft and melt-in-the-mouth.
This recipe is quick, simple, and delivers a perfect balance of crispy exterior and soft, rich interior. King’s Soyabean Oil helps achieve uniform frying, giving the bati a beautiful golden colour without making it overly greasy.
Mawa Bati has a rich, creamy, and sweet flavour with hints of cardamom and saffron. Slow frying on low to medium heat ensures the batis cook evenly, while soaking in sugar syrup makes them soft and juicy.
Follow these simple steps to prepare this recipe with balanced flavor and texture.
In a pan, combine sugar and water in the right proportion.
Heat the mixture and bring it to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally.
Let it simmer for 4–5 minutes until it becomes slightly sticky.
Add a few saffron strands to enhance aroma and colour.
Keep the syrup warm; it should not be too thick or reach a one-string consistency.
Crumble fresh mawa (khoya) into a mixing bowl until smooth and lump-free.
Add maida, milk powder, corn flour, and cardamom powder to the bowl.
Mix all ingredients gently to combine into a soft mixture.
Knead lightly to form a smooth, soft dough without overworking it.

In a bowl, add finely chopped cashews, almonds, pistachios, and raisins.
Add a small amount of crumbled mawa to enrich the filling.
Sprinkle cardamom powder for added flavour.
Mix everything thoroughly so the dry fruits are evenly distributed.

Fry slowly while stirring gently for even colouring.
