Instant Mawa (Khoya)

By -
Mawa is a dairy product, which plays a very important role in Indian Sweets and Dessert. 

Somtimes we don't get good and fresh mawa, which spoils our final product.

Don't worry, now this problem is over. The instant mawa not only solves the problem, it also tastes the same as the one you buy from a store.


Ingredients

Milk powder ------------- 1 cup
Ghee/ Butter ------------ 2 tbsp
Milk --------------------- 1/2 cup


Let's start 

Step 1. Take a pan, add ghee, heat it at low flame.


Step 2.  Add milk into the pan.


Step 3. Now add milk powder and stir continuously.


 Step 4. Stir continuously at low flame.


Step 5.  Mash the lumps, it will start combining well  and get a thick consistency.


 Step 6. When mawa start separating from pan or starts holding shape snd mawa has turned smooth and thick that means instant mawa is ready.


Note* 
  • Keep the flame low throughout the process.
  • 1 cup of milk powder will make 200 grams of mawa.

Happy Cooking :)
