How Khoya (Mawa) fits in your diet
A 100 g of khoya (mawa) contributes about 21% of a 2,000-kcal daily target and roughly 34% of an average adult's 50 g daily protein floor. Typically made with milk.
Reduced milk solids made by slow-simmering milk until almost all water evaporates. For a balanced Indian plate, pair it with a protein source (dal, paneer, eggs or chicken), a sabzi and a small portion of curd or salad. Restaurant or street-style versions can run 20–40% higher in calories because of extra oil, ghee or cream — adjust portion size accordingly.
