Khoa (also khoya) is a milk food widely used in the Pakistani and Indian cuisine, made of either dried whole milk or milk thickened by heating in an open iron pan. It is similar to ricotta cheese, but lower in moisture[1] and made from whole milk instead of whey. It does not have any taste, it is similar to paneer. To make it at home you will need 5 cups Milk Juice of 2 lemons(optional) Bring the Milk to boil in a heavy bottom saucepan. Reduce the heat and continue cooking at simmering point. Keep stirring so that milk does not stick to the base of the pan. As milk gets thicker stir more vigorously. The khoya is cooked when the milk is reduced to a thick, dry lump and it has stopped sizzling. Remove from the pan and leave it to cool. Use within fortnight. For more stylish khoya add lemon juice after the milk has boiled so that the milk coagulates. Then proceed as before. This type of khoya is particularly used for Burfi.
