Homemade Chikna Khoya with Milk Powder

Khoya or Mawa is hugely used in making many Indian sweets or Mithai, also added in many curry dishes to bring richness to the dish. We are lucky enough to get one type of Khoya, which is rock hard I assume it’s Batti Khoya, however, most of the times I prepare Khoya using Ricotta cheese in M/W.

I never made khoya from using only milk powder, the opportunity came recently. I always keep milk powder bag in my fridge and a few weeks back while I was cleaning the fridge, I checked the date and it was the end of September.

I scratched my head thinking what will I do with it? So first thought came into mind to make some Indian sweets and conjured up Kesar, Badam and Pista Barfi which was a huge hit in the family and on my blog 🙂

With the remaining milk powder plan was to making khoya and freeze it for later use. I did not have any cream or full-fat milk in the fridge at that very moment, so just used skimmed milk and a couple of tablespoon of ghee. After 10-15 minutes I had this aromatic khoya ready. Cooled it wrapped it in a butter paper and left it in the freezer. Although after freezing this khoya, it will become danedar khoya, so you can use in any kind of  Sweets or Mithai.

Now that so many Indian festivals are in line up one after an another, Khoya demands will be sky high and so does prices,  rather than buying adulterated khoya from the market, especially you guys in India, I have read and seen some shocking news about khoya,  try this recipe and be proud of 🙂
