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 .
