Notes

  • Do not leave the pan unattended once you begin cooking khoya. Because there are more chances of getting the bottom burnt easily.
  • The khoya becomes like liquid and then thickens as gets cooked.
  • When the color changes towards brown, it's the indication to switch off.
  • As the mixture cools down, it hardens. In case it is soft enough to shape, then you can skip adding milk.
  • You can store them for more than a week.
