Khoya Mutter (Green Peas Masala)

Although Khoa is a key ingredient in this Asian vegetarian recipe, you can substitute it with evaporated milk or Unsalted Ricotta cheese if needed. Take one cup of ricotta cheese, cook it for about 10 minutes in a pan. Add a tablespoon butter to it and 1.5 cups of carnation dry milk powder. Keep on stirring constantly, until it reaches "Khoa" consistency, about 7 minutes on medium heat. Alternatively, you can also use powdered milk mixed with heavy cream.

The gravy should have a thick and creamy texture. Adjust the water accordingly. You can also add paneer cubes to this gravy and make Khoya Mutter Paneer.

This green peas recipe is a vegetarian Asian side dish, but to make it vegan, skip the khoya and use crumbled silken tofu or makhana instead. You may also add almond/ cashew paste/powder.
