HOW TO MAKE KHOYA / KHOVA / MAWA

Normally i rarely use khoya and never tried to make before at home.Usually khoya is used in carrot halwa.My son was having exam time ..so thought to make dishes of his favourites.Yday he demanded for gulab jamun. I used to try it with instant mix or with milk powder.Both was not in home and was feeling lazy to get out of the house.So just searched internet and found that it can be made from mawa/ khoya.Then made mawa and obviously jamun....Its the easiest recipe though time consumption is more.The method can be described in single line...cook the milk until it gets soldifies. Time take was 1 hr......:P

 
Ingredients:


FULL CREAM MILK / WHOLE MILK
1 ltr


Method:
1. Boil the milk in high fire.




2.Once it get boiled, cook it in medium fire.
3.Scratch the edges and stir in btw.Other wise the milk gets scroched.




4.When the milk gets reduced and starts to soldify, then put the fire in sim and continue stirring...




5. When the solid milk seperates from the pan, then switch off . MAKING KOYA MAY TAKE UPTO 1 HR.




TIPS:

     1.       Use a non stick pan
     2.       Stiriing in btw is a must
     3.       Milk should not be scrotched
     4.       Full cream milk gives a smooth khoya
     5.       This qty yields 250 gms of khoya
