Khoa is a type of Indian sweet made from milk. It is also known as khoya, mawa or kova. Burfi is an Indian sweet made from milk and sugar. It is also known as burfee or barfi.
Khoa and burfi are two popular Indian sweets that are often made at home. Both sweets are made from milk and sugar, and they have a similar taste and texture. However, khoa is made by boiling milk until it reduces to a thick, creamy consistency, while burfi is made by boiling milk and sugar until it forms a solid mass.
Khoa and burfi are often served at Indian festivals and celebrations. They can be made in different flavours, such as pistachio, almond, cashew or cardamom. Khoa and burfi can also be used to make other Indian sweets, such as gulab jamun and rasmalai.
To make khoa at home, you will need milk. Heat the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Stir the milk constantly to prevent it from burning. When the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer the milk until it reduces to half its original volume.
Cook the milk mixture over low heat until it thickens and forms a solid mass. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the khoa to cool. Once it is cool, you can shape the khoa into balls or bars.
