This Instant Mawa Recipe is made with only 3 ingredients - milk powder, ghee, and milk and ready in 5 minutes. No need to buy mawa or khoya from the market, homemade pure mawa or khoya for all your favourite Indian desserts.
Take a heavy-bottomed pan and add 1 tablespoon of melted ghee/clarified butter. Swirl it around so it coats the pan evenly.
1 tablespoon ghee
Pour in the milk. Slowly add the milk powder, a little at a time, and mix well to combine.
½ cup full fat milk, 200 gm milk powder (1.5 cups)
Continue adding milk powder in batches, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. The mixture should be smooth and uniform.
Keep the pan on low heat and stir continuously. The mixture will start sticking to the sides scrape it back in and mix well.
Cook until the mixture thickens and comes together as soft mawa. Switch off the heat, immediately remove it to a plate. Do not overcook, or khoya will turn dry.

Notes
Use fresh milk powder. There are a few chances of forming lumps while mixing it.
Always cook it on low heat.
Keep stirring continuously while cooking the mixture.
If you feel that the mixture is sticking to the bottom of the pan, then add more ghee/clarified butter and stir.
This Instant mawa, which is made with milk powder, is sweet (as the milk powder contains sugar). So, when you are using this homemade mawa in any particular recipe, make sure you add less sugar while making that recipe.
