Homemade Khoya, also known as mawa, is one of the most important ingredients used in traditional Indian sweets and desserts. This quick and easy version is prepared using homemade paneer, milk powder, and milk, giving a rich and soft khoya perfect for gulab jamun, halwa, barfi, peda, and many festive delicacies.
Making khoya at home is economical, fresh, and free from preservatives. With just a few ingredients, you can prepare soft and delicious mawa within minutes.
Ingredients Required
- 2–3 tsp oil or ghee
- ½ cup homemade paneer (prepared from 1¼ litre milk)
- ½ cup milk powder
- ½ cup milk
Method
- In a broad heavy-bottomed pan, add ghee or oil, homemade paneer, milk powder, and milk.
- Mix everything well until the mixture reaches a smooth pouring consistency.
- Keep the flame low and cook while stirring continuously.
- Gradually, the moisture starts evaporating and the mixture thickens.
- Continue stirring carefully for about 10–12 minutes to avoid burning.
- Once the mixture forms a soft dough-like consistency, switch off the flame.
- Allow it to cool completely.
- Store the homemade khoya in the refrigerator and use it for preparing sweets and desserts. It stays good for about one week.
