Instant Khoya Under 5 Minutes With Step by Step Pictures
Khoya is reduced milk granules made up by thickening whole milk in open iron pan. Khoya is also known as Mawa or Khoa. Traditionally khoya making is very time consuming process, it takes around 2 to 2 ½hour to make approx. 400 grams of khoya from 2 litre milk . Now a days people don’t have enough time to invest in such traditional cooking.

Thanks for the recipe
It really works..
I made it with half quantity of all the ingredients.
But I just want to know , can I make it using less ghee or clarified butter cause after the final cooking I found lots of excess ghee draining out…

Can we replace milk powder by condensed milk or something?

Hi Dhwani,
I have not replaced milk powder in this recipe so I am not sure about that.
