 For decorating:
Saffron(opt)for decorating

METHOD:

  2. Add ghee to it and stir them again for 5 minutes.

    Looks delicious! Going to try this for a cookery competition. The recipe seems simple & quick. Thank you.
    Just one question, what to add instead of Khoya? I am based in UK and I don't get Khoya here.
    Any suggestions?

      Thank you dear mrunal for stopping by...you can easily make khoya at home just by boiling milk in a non stick pan for sometime until the milk thickens,it may take around 40 minutes to an hour depending on the quantity of milk.make sure it doesn't get burnt...homemade khoya is ready!! :-)
