Homemade khoya (mawa/khoa) is the basic ingredient in many Indian sweets like Kulfi, gulab jamun and curries of some many recipes.
Making khoya or mawa at home is so easy to make, cook full fat milk on low flame until it turns thick and almost all moisture is evaporated; It is kind of a solid milk. The quantity of prepared mawa depends on the quality and fat percentage of the milk.
In India, readymade mawa is generally available at grocery shops and sweet stores, however, some of the sweets generally prepared during festivals like Diwali or Holi requires freshly made mawa and only way to get it is by making it at home.
1. Take a non-stick pan or heavy based kada, grease the pan with desi ghee (using with brush) and pour 1-litre full fat milk in it.
2. Bring the milk to boil over high flame. When it starts to boil, reduce flame between low to medium. Scrap the sides and stir continuously in between to prevent milk from sticking to the bottom.
3. After 20-25 minutes, milk will reduce to half in quantity and will turn thicker. As it starts to thicken, the colour would change from milky white to light pale yellow.
4. Stir continuously from this stage to prevent it from burning. Cook until almost all moisture evaporates and it turns into thick solid mass as shown in above video 👆👆🏻.
5. Turn off the flame and let it cool to room temperature. As it cools down, mawa will turn thick. once it cools down completely, scrap it from pan and store it in an airtight container in a refrigerator and consume it within 5-6days.

This is very delightful sweet dish, can be melt in your mouth. Last time when I made Sandesh with Kesar it will be finish in just few days. So I decided to make this Sandesh with mango twist.
WHAT IS SANDESH SWEET?
Sandesh is just a soft fudge made with Indian cottage cheese or paneer. It can be flavored with Kesar Sandesh, Nolen Gurer Sandesh, Chocolate Sandesh, Rose Sandesh, Jaggery Sandesh and many more that you can choose from your favorite ingredient or make it simple without any essence. You can make end number of flavours into it. It is pronounced like "SONDESH"
I have made mango sandesh in two ways one if barfi style and one is flat ladoo style.. both come super soft and fantastic. For barfi, i have set it in fridge for almost 4 hours and for other one I have just cool the mixture in fridge for 1 hour till it firm then I made flat ladoo.
Before mango season over, I want to enjoy mango in my dishes so I can remember the taste till next season. 😁 I gave this mangoish twist to my Sandesh, and that came out super creamy and soft. It’s really easy to make!
The thing that should be kept in mind while making Sandesh is to mash the Chenna or Paneer nicely with the heels of your hands till it is smooth and silky.
