Milk Cake Mithai from Ghee Residue | Leftover Mawa Recipe in Microwave

After preparing ghee at home, we often throw away the leftover residue without realizing its true value. If this ghee residue (mawa) is not bitter, it can be transformed into a delicious milk cake mithai in just a few minutes. This zero-waste recipe is economical, quick, and perfect for festive cravings. In this blog, I’ll show you how to turn leftover ghee residue into soft, grainy milk cake using a microwave—no fancy ingredients, no long cooking.

Important Note

✔ Use only non-bitter ghee residue

✔ Residue should be from slow-cooked homemade ghee

✔ If it tastes bitter → do not use

Ingredients (Simple)

Ghee residue / leftover mawa – 1 cup

Milk – ¼ cup (adjust as needed)

Sugar – 1to 2 tbsp (as per taste)

Cardamom powder – ¼ tsp

Chopped nuts (optional)

Step-by-Step Milk Cake Recipe in Microwave

Step 1: Prepare the Mixture

Take the leftover ghee residue in a microwave-safe bowl. Add milk and mix well to break any lumps. The mixture should be slightly moist, not watery.

Step 2: Add Sweetness & Flavor

Add sugar and cardamom powder. Mix thoroughly so the sugar blends evenly into the residue.

Step 3: First Microwave Cook

Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Take it out, stir well, and scrape the sides.

Step 4: Second Cook for Grainy Texture

Microwave again for 30–40 seconds. Mix again. At this stage, the mixture starts thickening and leaving the sides.

Step 5: Final Setting

Microwave for another 30 seconds if needed. Do not overcook—milk cake should remain soft and slightly grainy.

Step 6: Shape & Garnish

Transfer the mixture to a greased bowl or plate. Press gently, garnish with chopped nuts, and let it rest for 2 hours or place in fridge.

Serving Suggestion

Cut into squares and serve warm or chilled. This instant milk cake tastes amazing with tea or as a festive sweet.
