Milk peda recipe

Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Base

1. Heat the Ghee:
   • In a heavy-bottomed pan, add 2 tablespoons of ghee and heat it over medium heat.
2. Add Milk Powder:
   • Once the ghee melts, add 2 cups of milk powder. Stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes. This helps to remove the raw flavor of the milk powder.

Step 2: Making the Dough

3. Incorporate Condensed Milk:
   • Gradually pour in 1 cup of condensed milk while stirring continuously. This will help in mixing the ingredients thoroughly.
4. Cook the Mixture:
   • Keep cooking the mixture on low to medium heat. Stir continuously for about 5-7 minutes. The mixture will start to thicken and leave the sides of the pan.
5. Add Milk for Consistency:
   • If the mixture seems too dry or crumbly, add 1/4 cup of whole milk little by little until you achieve a dough-like consistency.
6. Flavoring:
   • Add 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom powder and a pinch of saffron (if using). Mix well until fully incorporated.

Step 3: Cooling and Shaping

7. Cool the Mixture:
   • Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes until it’s warm but not hot. You can cover it with a cloth to keep it warm.
8. Shape the Pedas:
   • Grease your hands with a little ghee. Take small portions of the mixture (about 1-2 tablespoons) and roll them into balls or flatten them slightly to form discs.
9. Garnish:
   • Press a piece of chopped nut (cashew, almond, or pistachio) onto the top of each peda for garnish.

Step 4: Final Touches

10. Set the Pedas:
    • Place the shaped pedas on a greased plate or a baking sheet. Let them cool completely at room temperature.
11. Storage:
    • Once cooled, store the pedas in an airtight container. They can last for up to a week at room temperature or longer in the refrigerator.

Tips

• Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the amount of condensed milk.
• Flavor Variations: You can experiment by adding cocoa powder for chocolate peda or mixing in desiccated coconut for a different texture.
• Presentation: For a festive touch, you can also roll the pedas in crushed nuts or coconut.
