Firstly, this recipe is made with milk and sugar with some trace of coconut for better texture. However, with milk, it can take more time to get the desired texture, and therefore you may use khoya to hasten the process. Secondly, if you would like to make it more healthy, you may use jaggery for better colour and taste. However, sugar is much preferred for better texture and shape.
