How to make Khoya at home - Homemade Khoya Recipe

Khoya Recipe
Making homemade khoya is a long time dream come true for me. I wanted to make khoya from the scratch since last year after I gave up searching for khoya/mawa/kova in shops for making gulab jamun.Then I decided to make my own batch of homemade khova but the urge came only now as its Diwali time. Though now I am seeing few brands releasing readymade khoya packets, my decision is final and I didn't want to change my mind so I made this khoya few days back and the next day made khoya gulab jamuns....It was tooo good to resist!! Now you need to wait for a day for the khoya jamun recipe :)

I have posted pictures of fresh khoya and also the picture of it after 1 day to show you the texture difference.

  5. See the bottom it is clean, stirring often will not let khoya burn / stick to the bottom.Now reduce the flame to lowest as at this stage there is more chances of burning.Keep stirring until it forms a thick mass with no liquid content.This is almost after  1 hr.It will leave the sides of the pan now.
