Khoa (reduced milk)
Also called: mawa, khoya, milchmasse
Concentrated, sweet and building — very grounding for Vata.
How Khoa (reduced milk) affects your doshas
In Ayurveda a food's effect depends on your constitution. This is the lens the app uses to suggest what to favour and ease off.
| Dosha | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vata | Balancing | Calms Vata — favour it when Vata runs high. |
| Pitta | Balancing | Calms Pitta — favour it when Pitta runs high. |
| Kapha | Use sparingly | Can raise Kapha — go easy when Kapha runs high. |
When to go easy
Extremely heavy and slow, so it strongly adds to Kapha; heavier than fresh milk.
