Khoya recipe | Home made khoya | Instant khoya recipe

Khoya | Mawa is solidified form of milk. Khoya is widely used in many Indian sweets. Though i get khoya here in Singapore all the time, this post will be useful for many readers, who do not have access to khoya in their places. I have already posted Khoya jamun, mawa cake , chocolate peda , Khoya burfi using khoya. Since diwali and navaratri are coming up i thought i will post this recipe of how to make khoya at home. I have adapted this home made khoya recipe from here.Stay tuned for interesting recipes using Khoya.

  • Allow this to completely cool. Now the khoya is ready to use in sweets. You can store it by putting it in a zip lock bag and keep it inside the freezer for 10-15 days.

  • This khoya was pretty decent, but i can't compare this with store bought khoya. But for people who do not have access to khoya but still want to use it in Indian sweets can try this method.
Instant Khoya
Notes:
  1. You can do combine milk powder with little ghee and little milk and keep it in a microwave safe bowl and MW it for 2-3 minutes . Stir frequently in between.
  2. When it becomes a thick mass, khoya is done.
  3. If you get evaporated milk in your place, you can add 1 tblp of yogurt to 1 tin of evaporated milk and MW it for 3-4 minutes. When it comes to a mass Khoya is done. 
  4. Alternatively you can boil milk for an hour till it shrinks and make Khoya in the traditional way.
  5. I get Khoya here in Singapore in Mustafa Center. For readers in Singapore you can find this in freezer section. 
  6. I bought my milk powder from Fairprice.
