Making khoya (Mawa) at home from scratch is a lengthy process and demands patience. I tried alternate ways to prepare khoya quickly using home ingredients and the outcome was pretty close to real khoya. Try any of these three recipes, step by step, and you can make rich and creamy khoya at home with very little effort with taste and texture like real khoya. These recipes use condensed milk, milk powder and ricotta cheese as the main ingredient

These stuffed cabbage parathas are very easy to make and healthy as well since they are packed with vegetables.
