Milk Peda Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2-3 cups full-fat milk
• 60-80 grams sugar
• ¼ teaspoon Cardamom Powder

Instructions:

Preparation Time: 5 minutes

Cooking Time: 30-40 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour

1. Prepare Mawa (Khoya) & Add Sugar:
   • Pour the full-fat milk into a heavy-bottomed pan.
   • Place the pan on medium heat and bring the milk to a boil.
   • Once it boils, reduce the heat to low and simmer the milk, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
   • Continue cooking, scraping, and stirring until the milk slightly thickens. Add sugar and mix it. 
   • Reduce the milk until it turns to mawa. This process may take around 20-30 minutes.
   • The mawa is ready when it becomes a thick, semi-solid consistency. It should easily form a soft ball when a small portion is rolled between your fingers.
   • Cook the mixture on low heat, stirring continuously. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens again. It should reach a consistency where it starts leaving the sides of the pan.
   • Once the mixture is thick and starts to leave the sides of the pan, turn off the heat.
2. Add Cardamom:
   • Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes until it is comfortable to handle.
   • Add cardamom powder and combine it with the mawa.
3. Shape into Peda:
   • Grease your hands with ghee to prevent sticking, then take a small portion of the mixture and roll it into a smooth, round ball. Flatten it slightly to form a disc-shaped peda.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Repeat the process for the remaining mixture, shaping them all into pedas.
   • Allow the pedas to cool completely before serving.

Tips:

• You can enhance the flavor by adding a few saffron strands to the mixture.
• Garnish with chopped nuts like almonds or pistachios for a decorative touch.
• Adjust the size according to your preference, and you may end up with more or fewer pedas accordingly.

You can approximately make 12-15 medium-sized pedas with the quantities mentioned in the recipe. Enjoy your homemade Milk Peda!
