Mawa

About mawa
Mawa is also called khoya or khoa. It is made from milk by boiling it (and continuously stirring it so that it doesn't stick) until it becomes a thick paste. It is not condensed milk as it is not a uniform thick fluid but a paste with lots of soft granules.

The milk will not become a thick paste if it does not contain enough fat, instead it will become a solid mass. The ideal milk for this comes from buffalos. For cow's milk add a little cream around 10% by volume.

Khoya can be made several ways using plain Milk powder, ricotta cheese or using condensed milk.
