Perfectly Parsi Cake: The Perfect Mawa Recipe

The perfect Mawa Cake is a traditional dessert from the Parsi community in Mumbai. While it is traditionally made with jaggery, I have used the easy-to-find Palm Jaggery for this recipe. This cake is rich and decadent, and to accompany it, a rich and fragrant mahi mojghul (milk fudge) would be perfect.

Recipe

If you’re a fan of mawa (a type of milk pudding), then this is the perfect recipe for you! Made with pistachios and rosewater, this cake is rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to make – so you can enjoy it any time of year! Ingredients for your mawa cake recipe:

[For the mawa] 3 egg whites

1 cup sugar (240 grams)

1/2 cup pistachios (100 grams) finely chopped and divided into 4 parts (I used raw, shelled pistachios from this pack).

[For the topping] 1/4 cup sugar (50 grams) + 1 tbsp rose water. You can find rose water in Middle Eastern or Indian stores, but it’s also very easy to make too! You can add more or less than 1 tbsp depending on your taste. If you don’t have any rosewater, you can add a touch of lemon juice instead. I was already using lemon juice, so I didn’t add any rosewater.1 tbsp unsalted butter (15 grams)Note: your mawa cake should be made in a small loaf pan with a removable bottom. If you go with a larger pan, it may get too thick and stick to the sides of the pan when baking.In a medium bowl, combine the egg whites and sugar. Whisk eggs together until they become stiff. In another bowl, stir pistachios and 1 tbsp of the pistachios with some flour (I just used my hands). Transfer flour mixture into egg mixture, stirring them together well. Pour mawa batter into loaf pan overhang that has been greased very well with butter or cooking spray.
