Homemade Khoya is a basic ingredient for many Indian recipes especially in some sweets. This is prepared by simmering milk while the water evaporates and reduces to solid. Simply cook milk until it thickens in low flame. It is a bit time consuming process. It took 40 minutes for me to make one litre milk into khoya. It gave me 200 grams khoya. Once it cools it can be refrigerated and used upto 4 days. While making the khoya keep the flame in low so it avoids buring and sticking to the bottom of the vessel.
