Milk pedha
The most delicious and yet so simple to make recipe for milk pedhas. Who doesn't like to bite into a soft, mildly grainy milk pedha ?
We have numerous recipes to make pedhas , most poplar among them is the method of using condensed milk and milk powder. I have also tried the same way and got excellent result. So even a novice in kitchen can easily prepare this as the list of ingredients is so simple with two main ingredients only.
Ingredients:
1 can approx 400 gms condensed milk or make instant condensed milk at home in 10 minutes , check this recipe from my blog.
2 cups of milk powder ( I used skimmed milk powder and it tasted fine )
Pinch of saffron
2 1/2 tbsp butter
pinch of cardamom
pistachio slivered for garnish
Method
In a hard heavy bottomed pan preferably nonstick, open the condensed milk can and pour in pan .
Add the 2 cups of milk powder, saffron infused milk a tsp or so, pinch of cardamom , butter and keep on low flame .
The mixture will start coming together like a big mass ,as the butter will bring together the whole mixture in one lump, but don’t be in haste to remove from gas, as it should not be too soft a mass.
When you think, by testing a small pinch of the mixture, you can shape into pedhas, you may remove from the gas. Let it cool. Spread this pedha mixture on a plate and llow to dry out till cool .
Shape into round pedhas or grease a plate and spread the thick mixture on the plate and smoothen the top. Garnish with nuts .
