Khoya or Mawa is dried evaporated milk solid which is used in the Indian dessert. It’s a popular traditional dessert (mithai) in India and other neighbouring countries.
The trick is to stir the milk continuously so that no lumps of crumbled mawa or khoya are found while making the Kulfi mixture on lower flame. Also, add sugar in the end and stir it in last few minutes.
