Background information on this Malai Laddoo recipe

KHOYA
K hoya is a special ingredient of many indian sweets and very easily available in india. If it is not available in your market then it is very very easy to be made.

Khoya is just dried milk. Take a heavy bottomed vessel and on slow flame keep on boiling the milk, stirring often to avoid burning and sticking of the milk. Keep on boiling the milk till it thickens thickens and then finally forms a lump. So all what you need to do for making khoya is just keep on reducing milk till a lump of milk is formed and this lump is khoya.
