My regular readers are well known of my Thursday Guru pooja and Friday Lakshmi pooja. For pooja neivedyam/prasad, I keep trying varieties of sweets. It may be traditional or unusual sweets, I am trying it every week. Last week I tried South Indian style easy peanut ladoo for my Thursday pooja. So this week I thought of trying some North Indian sweets.
I prepared this easy, yummy mawa ladoo / khoya laddu in microwave following Nisha Madhulika’s recipe. Though its my first attempt, it came out really well. Its so easy and quick to make. Fuss free recipe ! Usually North Indians make Sooji khoya laddu, besan khoya ladoo, khoya coconut laddu and khoya dry fruits laddu. Apart from these laddu varieties, many of you would have tried khoya burfi or gulab jamun with khoya. Do try this khoya ladoo for a change. I am sure you will love it. Its tastes is similar to doodh peda. Ok, lets see how to make mawa ladoo recipe with step by step pictures.

HOW TO MAKE MAWA LADOO / KHOYA LADOO
- In a microwave bowl, take the khoya/ mawa.
- Crumble it slightly. Microwave in high power for 1 minute.
- Remove the bowl and stir it well.
- Microwave again for one minute. Remove, stir well and let it cool down.
- Add powdered sugar and cardamom powder. Shape into ladoo.
- Finish it within a day or two !
METHOD – STEP BY STEP PICTURES
- Take the mawa/ khoya and measure 1/2 cup from it. Keep it in a microwave safe bowl. Crumble slightly. Cover the bowl with a microwave safe plate.
- Microwave in high power ( 800w) for one minute. Remove the bowl and stir the khoya with a spoon. Again cover it and microwave for one more minute in high power.
- Remove the bowl and mix well. Khoya may be golden brown in color slightly. Do not panic. But make sure its not burnt. Transfer the khoya to a plate immediately and let it cool down completely.
- In the mean time, take the sugar and 2 cardamom seeds in a mixie jar. Grind to smooth powder. Set aside.
- Take the khoya and crumble it finely with your fingers. Add the powdered sugar to it and mix well. Check for taste and add more sugar if needed. If using roasted cashews, add at this stage. I din’t use it.
- Take a portion of the khoya, roll tightly and make ladoo. Shape the laddu and serve immediately. Store in a box and enjoy for one or two days. This ladoo stays good for 2 days. It tastes more like doodh peda. I decorated the ladoo by keeping a color dot and melon seed on top.
Enjoy !

Note
- Make sure not to burn the khoya while you microwave. If the power of microwave is more ( 900W or more) reduce the cooking time to 1 minute 30 seconds. Over cooking makes the khoya hard and chewy.
- Adjust the quantity of powdered sugar based on your taste.
- I feel 2:1 ratio of khoya and sugar is sufficient.
