Parwal ki Mithai is quite popular in certain parts of the country. Due to the pandemic, I am not buying sweets from the market so decided to make this at home for my parents.

It's quite easy to make and can be made in advance.
I always make mawa at home, although a little time consuming but then I am sure my family is eating unadulterated stuff. So ,if making mawa at home, it's better to make it a day in advance.
I don't use any food color hence my Parwal look quite pale.
Since my Parwal were quite tender I boiled them in water only for 1 minute. If you find your Parwal are not done in 1 minute boil them for 3-4 minutes, till they are done.
Remember ,they will cook further in sugar syrup.
The sugar syrup may seem not enough but don't worry, Parwal will release water when added to hot sugar syrup. So , it works out fine and we are not left with too much of sugar syrup.

Heat 400 ml milk in a wide pan.
Mix milk powder in the remaining milk.
Add it to boiling milk, stirring continuously so that no lumps are formed.
Add saffron.
Now reduce it till it reaches mawa consistency.
Keep stirring from time to time so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.

Sugar will melt in hit mawa.
Once the mawa cools down completely, knead it well and mix in almond flakes and cardamom powder.

Boil sugar and water to make sugar syrup of 1 string consistency.
Add Parwal and let them boil in the sugar syrup till they are cooked.
This will take around 5-8 minutes, depending on your Parwal.
