#  Method Of Making...

1. Firstly, add 1 spoon ghee in a heavy bottomed kadai and fry melon seeds on the medium flame till a little golden brown and fluffy. Take out in a plate.
It will take 3 minutes.

2. Then roast coconut till a nice aroma .
It will also take 3 minutes.

3. Now add rest of ghee in the kadai.
And deep fry almonds till crunchy one.
It will take 5 minutes.

4. After that fry raisins, chironji and pistachios in the same ghee and take out them.
It will take 3 minutes.

5. Lastly fry lotus nuts ( makhana ) in the same ghee till little golden colour and  crunchy. Otherwise you can't crush or grind them properly while making pak.

Now makhana will absorb the rest ghee of the kadai.
It will take 8 minutes at least.

6. Lastly, roast the mawa well till a little golden brown for 5 minutes.
Take out in a bowl and off the flame.

6. Now all fried dry fruits are ready to prepare mewa pak.
Coarsely grind the makhana, mingi, pistachios and almonds in the mixer jar for 30 seconds only.
You can also crush them finely.
No need of grinding coconut, choonji and raisins.

7. Now on the flame and add sugar with 150 ml. water in the same kadai on the high flame.
Make a thick sugar syrup of 2 strands consistency.

8. Now firstly,  add roasted mawa in the sugar syrup on the medium slow flame and mix well till without lumps for 5 minutes.
Now immediately add all the dry fruits in the mawa and mix well while stirring continuously till solidifying stage for 8 minutes or as needed.

9. Take out the mixture in a greased container or plate.
Level it with the help of a greased spatula or katori because it is too hot.
And garnish it with some chopped nuts.

In this way....Delicious Mewa Mawa pak is ready to enjoy.

#  Note...

1. You can increase or decrease dry fruits as your taste or availability.
You can also add 25 gram edible gum in it by deep frying well.
I have not added it because some people avoid it in the fasting time.

2. In place of grated coconut you can take dessicated coconut.

3. In place of making sugar syrup, you can make it with powder sugar.
Add mawa with powder sugar.
Stir it well as the sugar melts with mawa and mix all the dry fruits.
But the benefit of making sugar syrup is that....You can mix all the ingredients very well as coconut and makhana is much soaking.
