    Making khoya the traditional way is quite time consuming. one easy way is to make it using milk powder. I make milk burfi by making granular mawa using milk powder and ghee and warm milk . i mix ghee and some warm milk to milk powder and form a firm dough and then put it in the freezer for about ten minutes . Then remove this dough that has firmed up enough so i can grate it using a minute grater. This gives granular texture of the mawa and then i make burfi out of this mawa and condensed milk. Hubby likes it.

    There is info on net as well about this easy shortcut way of making mawa .here is the link.

    Davinci17,
    may it's too late to reply but might help you.
    I have bought Nanak's ready made khoya/mawa from megamart in frozen food section.
    They have in different weights. But before using had to defrost it.

    Hi Ladies,

    Khoya not available in Megamart these days. Can we get Khoya from any other supermarket/ shop in Qatar?

    Thanks
    Ahalya
