Colourful Homemade Mawa/Khoya Modak 

We all love colours as it adds positivity and happiness to our life. Here is colourful offering to Bappa with homemade Khoya or Mawa. The process to make mawa or khoya at home is bit time consuming approximately it takes around 1.5 to 2 hours and requires effort. But once you make the khoya base with sugar, elaichi powder and kesar you can easily add different flavour and colour to it.  This made at home is also cheaper and pure compared to market bought Modak which at many places have lot of preservatives and other ingredients added to khoya. Do give it a try as your hard work will make Bappa happy.



Ingredients: 

  • 1 litre of milk this will make approximately 180 to 200 gms of khoya 
  • 2 tablespoon of ghee
  • 5 tablespoon of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of elaichi powder
  • 5 to 6 kesar strands 
  • Food colour of your choice. I have used yellow, pink and green
Recipe 
  • In a thick bottom pan add milk. Let it boil on a low flame. Around 30 mins of boiling the milk will start becoming thick 
  • After an hour it will get rabdi texture. You need to keep stirring the milk in between. 
  • Once the milk comes to a stage of very thick Rabdi texture add sugar and keep stirring till the milk takes the solid form
  • Once the milk becomes like a mawa or khoya and leave the sides of the pan it is ready.
  • Add flavours of elaichi powder, kesar and 1.5 tablespoon of ghee
  • Now remove the khoya in a plate. Cool it down for 10 mins and gently mash it with to give a nice smooth texture 
  • Divide the khoya in three parts add a drop of colour in each path 
  • Again mix well and add few drops of ghee in each part. 
  • Lastly make the round shape by taking very small portion of each of the colour and finally give it a modak shape
  • Your colourful modak is ready
