  1. Neel, thanks. Great recipe. I modified it only a little for US – khoya is Ricotta Cheese with most of the moisture taken out. About 20 minutes in low heat in a non-stick pan and you have Khoya.

    Also, to make a paste of the dates, I used a little evaporated milk in the food processor. Don’t over-blend.

    If the prescribed amount of kewra is too overpowering for you, use less, I used 1/4 and it had the sweet aroma without the overpowering smell.

    Thanks again Neel.

    1. its my pleasure if u like it. and i always said that you can always modify the recipe according to your taste and your liking.
