Indulge in the sweet magic of our homemade Milk Peda recipe! 🌟 With just two simple ingredients, full-fat milk, and sugar, you can whip up these traditional Indian sweets right in your kitchen. A treat that is perfect for any occasion and delights your taste buds! 🍬✨
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.
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.
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.
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!
