Homemade Mawa/ Khoya

Our country has bountiful varieties of sweets. Have you ever thought what becomes an important ingredient of mostly all sweet dishes. It is Mawa or Khoya as many people call it. 

Just imagine that your sweet tooth is craving for some homemade sweet and you don't find mawa in nearby shops. It's simple to make at home. I have faced this problem and so started making it home. I follow a simple recipe and the result is too good. You can make it in just 10 minutes and will be very happy with the outcome. 

Using this Mawa/ Khoya you can make any kind of Barfi, Gulab jamuns and also use it in gravys. I made this khoya to make some Hara Chana Barfi. I shall be posting its recipe soon.
