Homemade Khoya or Mawa is also called khoya or khoa. It is made from milk by boiling it (and continue stirring it so that it doesn’t stick) until it becomes a thick paste. It is not condensed milk as it is not a uniform thick fluid but a paste with lots of soft granules.
khoya is very good for strengthening the bones and teeth as it rich in calcium. Presence of riboflavin makes khoya an essential source of Vitamin B. Therefore it is good for a healthy immune system, energy production and maintenance of healthy hair and skin.
Traditionally mawa is obtained from boiling milk and cooking it a slow heat stirring continuously. It takes a long time depending on the quantity of milk.
Khoya recipe I have given is instant khoya by using milk powder. With just 3 ingredients makes it easier to make khoya in less than 10-15 minutes. I have not used sugar as it can be added as and when required.
