Khoya (Mawa)

Khoya (Mawa) is a traditional South Asian dairy product made by simmering and reducing whole milk until it solidifies; it’s commonly used in Indian sweets and rich savory preparations. As a concentrated milk product, it’s high in energy and fat but also a good source of protein and minerals — notably it provides about 695mg of calcium per 100g. While Khoya (Mawa) supplies quality dairy protein and minerals, it is low in fiber and relatively high in saturated fat, so it’s often used sparingly or swapped for lower‑fat dairy when a lighter option is desired.
