Kilata and Morata

किलाटमोरटम्

Kilata and Morata are solidified/inspissated milk products. Kilata is prepared by repeatedly boiling milk until it solidifies (similar to modern Khoa/Mawa). Morata is a variant prepared differently. These are heavy, nourishing, and sweet. They increase Kapha and strength but are difficult to digest. The text considers them Guru (heavy) and recommends them only for persons with strong Agni (digestive fire) and those needing weight gain. Verses 22-25.
