Khoa Burfi

Happy New Year…2015.

Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.

 Khoa is used to make many traditional savouries  and sweet recipes in India. 

It is easily available in market as well as can be made at home. Khoa is made by simmering full-fat milk in an iron karahi for several hours, over a medium fire. The gradual vaporization of its water content leaves coagulated solids in milk, which is khoa. 

Health Benefits-

• Khoa or Mava being a dairy product promotes strong bones by being a very good source of vitamin D and calcium, and a good source of vitamin K; three nutrients essential to bone health.

• Additionally, it is a very good source of riboflavin and a good source of vitamin B12, two B vitamins that are necessary for cardiovascular health and energy production. Also, it is a good source of vitamin A.

• Research has shown that increased consumption of dairy products, by both children and adults, results in increased bone density and a reduced risk of osteoporosis.

• Having much of the health benefits, remember anything in excess is not good for health due to the presence of high fat.
