HKC 8.32: KHOYA BOATS

Cook milk over high flame with wooden spoon. Stir vigorously so that it doesn't stick. Remove from heat when milk dries up and becomes one slightly hardened lump. Continue stirring until sizzling stops. It takes about 25 minutes to prepare one pint of milk in this way. (One pint of milk produces about 3 oz. of khoya). Then add the sugar and mix well. Take small lumps of khoya and press in your palm, closing your hand. With the thumb of the other hand, make a depression in the center. Press a pistachio nut into depression. The finished shape and size is like a small boat.
