MILK PEDA

Milk Peda

Peda is a popular Indian sweet that is traditionally made with khoya/mava or evaporated milk. This is a cheat’s version of making peda with condensed milk. Apart from condensed milk, milk powder and ghee/butter is also added in these pedas. There is no need to add any sugar at all.

Ingredients

• .Milk powder-11/2 cup
• .Condensed milk -400gms
• .Cardamom powder-1/2 tsp
• .Butter or ghee, melted-1/4 cup
• .Almonds -few

Method

STEP-1

.In a wide non stick pan, combine the condensed milk and milk powder and mix it into a smooth paste without any lumps. It should be like a thick idli batter. Add the cardamom powder, ghee or butter into the mixture and stir to combine well.

STEP-2

.Place the pan on medium heat and stir continuously until it becomes a thick batter.

STEP-3

.Turn off the heat as soon as the mixture thickens and you see it leaving the sides of the pan. The process will be a little hard, as the mixture will thicken up quickly. The mixture will thicken further when it is cooling down.

STEP-4

.Once it becomes thick and leaves the sides of the pan turn off the heat and transfer the peda dough to another bowl and allow it to cool to a temperature such that you can use your hands to knead them.

STEP-5

.Once cooled, knead the peda dough until smooth and fluffy. You can add a little ghee to knead if the peda's are too hard.

STEP-6

.Divide the dough into small lemon sized balls. Make an impression with the thumb in the center and place a piece of almonds in the center.
