mawa barfi recipe | mawa ki barfi | khoye ki barfi | khoya barfi recipe with detailed photo and video recipe. an simple mouth-watering barfi recipe made with milk solids, sugar and dry fruits. it is an easy and quick dessert recipe as it does not have any fancy ingredients list like any other classical indian desserts. the recipe is very similar to the other milk-based desserts but still has a unique flavour, taste and texture.
i have posted quite a few barfi recipes and also milk-based desserts in my blog till now. the most common point with all these dessert recipes is the tase vs texture. most of these just melt in your mouth when it gets in contact with saliva. and there isn’t any difference with this mawa ki barfi. as a matter of fact, the khoye ki barfi is one step ahead. it has the extra creaminess from the milk solids and when combined with the sugar, it makes it an ideal milk dessert. i make it quite often as it is quick and easy to make if you have access to khoya. also it is easy to shape more importantly to share as a gift or confectionery.
furthermore, some of the important tips, suggestions and variants for an ideal mawa barfi recipe or khoya barfi recipe. firstly, in this recipe, i have used a store-bought khoya which would hasten the cooking process. if you have access to homemade mawa or willing to make an instant khoya with the milk powder, you should be good using both the options. secondly, i have added a minimal amount of sugar for a low to moderate sweetness with the barfi. having said that if you have sweet tooth, you can increase it as per your taste. lastly, because we have used khoya in this sweet, it may not last long in room temperature. hence you may have to store in refrigerator to preserve for a week.
