Homemade Khoya Mawa Video Recipe

Homemade Khoya Mawa Using Regular Milk, It gives immense pleasure in making recipes from scratch. I am a great fan for milk sweets so before making Diwali sweets I made this Khoya and believe me I didn’t add any color , the texture and color of this homemade version amazed me to try several recipes with it :-). Refer at the end of the post, I have shared some finished goodie pictures and stay tuned for those mawa based recipes.

Yields :- 350 grams of Khoya approx

Ingredients

Regular Whole Milk – 3 Litres

Ghee – .5 tsp

Heavy bottom pan and a wooden spatula

How to get Homemade Khoya Mawa

• Try to choose high flame burner and a wide heavy bottom pan / kadai .
• Grease the pan with oil or ghee (you can do it a several hours prior to boiling the milk), this helps to prevent sticking.
• Add the whole milk and keep the flame high.
• Always eyeball it , since it foams anytime.
• Once it started foaming reduce the flame and with on and off stirring continue to boil.
• When the color changes pale yellow and milk thickened a bit, you can increase the flame to high.
• Scrape the sides and bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.
• Even thickened milk foams so always keep watching.
• At one stage the milk evaporates completely and it starts forming grainy textured mawa or milk solid.
• For me it took almost 40 minutes to get this texture.
• Remove from flame, it cooks few more minutes in the hot pan so keep stirring for a while.
• After 4 to 5 hours the soft khoya/mawa shown in this video turned in to hard texture.
• Will be sharing those hard mawa picture when I post the Burfi recipe.
• Till then stay tuned.
