Peda is a popular indian sweet that is traditionally made with khoya/mava or evaporated milk.
Ingredients
1-1/2
cups of milk powder, 400 grams Condensed milk, 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom
powder, 1/4 cup butter or ghee, melted, A few sliced pistachios.
How to make
To
begin making the Homemade Doodh Peda Recipe, 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 in
the cardamom powder, ghee or butter into the mixture and stir to combine
well.
Place the pan on medium heat and stir continuously until
it becomes a thick batter. 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.
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. 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. Divide the dough into small lemon sized
balls. Make an impression with the thumb in the center and place a piece
of pistachio in the center and serve.
Total time: 30 Minutes.
Serves: 22 to 25 small pedas
