-
Try to choose high flame burner and a wide heavy bottom pan / kadai .
-
Grease the pan with oil or ghee (you can do it a several hours prior to boiling the milk), this helps to prevent sticking.
-
Add the whole milk and keep the flame high.
-
Always eyeball it , since it foams anytime.
-
Once it started foaming reduce the flame and with on and off stirring continue to boil.
-
When the color changes pale yellow and milk thickened a bit, you can increase the flame to high.
-
Scrape the sides and bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.
-
Even thickened milk foams so always keep watching.
-
At one stage the milk evaporates completely and it starts forming grainy textured mawa or milk solid.
-
For me it took almost 40 minutes to get this texture.
-
Remove from flame, it cooks few more minutes in the hot pan so keep stirring for a while.
-
After 4 to 5 hours the soft khoya/mawa shown in this video turned in to hard texture.
-
Will be sharing those hard mawa picture when I post the Burfi recipe.
-
Till then stay tuned.
