Ingredients:

• 2 cups full cream milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup khoya (mawa), crumbled
• 1/4 cup ghee (clarified butter)
• 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
• A handful of chopped pistachios or almonds for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Khoya:
   • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the full cream milk and bring it to a boil.
   • Once it boils, reduce the heat to low and simmer the milk until it reduces to a thick consistency (almost 1/4th of its original quantity).
   • Stir the milk occasionally to avoid burning. Once reduced, add the crumbled khoya and mix well.
2. Cook the Mixture:
   • Add the ghee and continue stirring the mixture on low heat.
   • When the ghee begins to separate from the mixture, add sugar and mix well. Keep stirring until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture becomes thick and starts to come together.
3. Flavor and Finish:
   • Add the cardamom powder and mix well.
   • Grease a flat plate or tray with a little ghee, and pour the thick mixture onto it. Flatten it with a spatula or the back of a spoon to form an even layer.
4. Set the Barfi:
   • Let the mixture cool down to room temperature. Once it’s set and firmed up, cut it into square or diamond shapes.
5. Garnish (Optional):
   • Garnish with chopped pistachios or almonds on top of each piece.
6. Serve:
   • Khoya Mava Barfi is now ready to be served! Enjoy this rich, delicious Indian sweet.
