Product Description
Khuwa (Khoa) is a dairy product made by slowly evaporating milk until it reaches a thick, semi-solid consistency. It is widely used in South Asian countries like Nepal, India, and Pakistan to prepare sweets like gulab jamun, peda, barfi, and kalakand. Traditionally, khuwa is made by continuously stirring milk over an open flame in a large pan (kadhai) for several hours. However, this manual method is labor-intensive and requires constant supervision. A Khuwa Machine (or Khoa Machine) is a mechanized system designed to automate and speed up the process of making khuwa, ensuring consistent quality, reducing labor efforts, and increasing production efficiency.
Key Components of a Khuwa Machine
Component | Function |
---|---|
Stainless Steel Kettle/Pan | Holds the milk and withstands high temperatures. |
Heating System | Uses gas burners, diesel, firewood or steam to evaporate moisture. |
Scraper/Stirrer Mechanism | Prevents milk from sticking and ensures even cooking. |
Motorized Mixer | Ensures consistent stirring without manual effort. |
Outlet Valve | Allows easy removal of the final khuwa. |
Advantages of Using a Khuwa Machine
