Homemade Khova / Khoya / Mava

It's a general practice to buy khova from dairy shops or the branded ones when we plan to make many sweets like halva or milk sweets. It generally has an expiry of 20 days to 1 month. But it mostly goes to dustbin after its half used at the max. Why waste money and resources? Just prepare it at home with just 3 ingredients and 5 minutes of time.

It is a very simple recipe and there is no way to go wrong with this.
