So, today I am sharing with you the authentic making of milk khoya at home. It’s pure, creamy and super delicious to have it as it is. 

Usually whenever I prepare this, I’m able to manage complete my few other kitchen tasks side by side. 

You might have heard or read that it requires your complete attention and energy to stir it continuously. But it is not. Let’s see what all things you need to keep in mind.

1. Use heavy bottomed non-stick pan which is wide too.

Kova is basically made by evaporating all the moisture from the milk. So, if your pan is wide then it will consume less time.

2. Non-stick will prevent the milk solids to stick at the bottom. So, not required to stir continuously.

3. Cook it on high flame. 

I stir it once every time it comes to a boil and rises till the brim of the vessel. Scrape the milk particles from the side of the pan and push it into the milk. 

Use this khoya /Kova to prepare other Diwali sweets.
