I have used milk powder and sugar in several cake recipes. And when I had the Kalakand sweet at a friend’s place recently it struck me why not prepare similar – just khoya -mawa bites- using the milk powder for the grainy consistency. So finally after few experiments I got the exact measurements for the perfect sweetness and consistency. Here it is. This is from fatfree milk powder and using Stevia sugar which is Zero calorie sugar substitute. Enjoy without worrying about the calorie counting!!!
Makes about 20 pieces of 2 inch square
Ingredients:
1 cup water
¾ cup splenda or stevia powdered sugar (can be adjusted per desired sweetness)
4 cups Non fat Instant Milk powder
Method:
- Warm up water in non-stick sauce pan on medium heat then add the sugar. Stir well and let it dissolve on medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
- Add the dry milk powder 1 cup at a time – stirring well before adding the next cup.
- Stir well the entire mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes stirring continuously to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Grease a deep-bottomed plate and spread the prepared Khoya evenly over it. Even out the top surface with the back of a spatula and cut into bite sized cubes. Optionally garnish with finely chopped almonds or shredded coconut. Enjoy hot or chill in refrigerator before serving.
