What to know about Amul Khoa
One ingredient, but a fat-heavy 346 kcal per 100 g
Amul Khoa, sold on the front as Mawa, is a 200 g pack of concentrated milk. The ingredient list has one line, milk solids, so no percentages are declared and nothing else is added. It is bought by people who make mithai at home and want the base ready made. The pack is kept frozen at -18°C or below.
Per 100 g it has 346 kcal, 14 g protein, 22 g fat and 23 g sugar, with 0 g added sugar. The pack prints a 50 g serve, four to a pack, which is 173 kcal, 7 g protein and 6.6 g saturated fat. Saturated fat is 13.2 g per 100 g, well above the 5 g high line, and sodium is a modest 200 mg per 100 g.
The pack's promises are plain: made from Amul milk, 14% milk protein and 22% milk fat, and the panel agrees with each. There is no hollow claim and no additive to mark it down. What holds it back is the fat, not the ingredients. CleanPlate scores it DA3.
Why Amul Khoa scores DA3
Nutrition is a D, as protein of 14 g per 100 g sits alongside 22 g fat and no declared vitamins. Ingredients are an A with milk solids alone, and risk is a 3 on 13.2 g saturated fat per 100 g.
Low nutrient density
- Protein
- 14 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 346 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 14 g per 100 g, about 16% of the 346 kcal, which is 4 g per 100 kcal. It all comes from milk solids. In a 50 g serve that is 7 g protein.
The rest of the panel is fat and sugar: 22 g fat and 23 g total sugar per 100 g. No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing lifts the grade further.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is a single line, milk solids. There are no additives, no sweetener, no flavouring and no fat added, so there is nothing that costs ingredient points.
The pack's claims match the panel and no label promise is hollow, so label integrity loses nothing and the grade is the top one.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 200 mg
- Saturated fat
- 13.2 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Saturated fat is the main driver: 13.2 g per 100 g, over twice the 5 g high line. A 50 g serve has 6.6 g.
Energy at 346 kcal per 100 g and sodium at 200 mg per 100 g add smaller amounts. Added sugar is 0 g, so sugar plays no part in the risk number. Trans fat is declared as 0 g.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Amul Khoa live up to its claims?

Recipes with Amul Khoa
Use it as the base for sweets such as burfi or kheer, in a small portion, since 50 g carries 6.6 g saturated fat before any sugar or ghee is added.
Mawa burfi
The pack's own recipe uses 200 g khoa, half a cup of sugar and cardamom powder. The khoa has 0 g added sugar, so all the added sugar is yours to adjust.
Kheer with a spoon of khoa
Stir in a small portion, about 25 g, for richness and 3.5 g protein, instead of using the full 50 g serve.
Khoa-stuffed sweets
Use it as a filling in small pieces, so each one carries only a fraction of the 6.6 g saturated fat in a 50 g serve.
