Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups milk powder
  • 3/4 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1/2 cup sugar + more if you prefer it more sweet
  • 1/2 cup milk + more if your mixture gets dry
  • 2-3 table spoon ghee
  • a pinch of cardamom powder
  • rasins or desiccated coconut to garnish

Method
 

  1. In a saucepan heat ghee and add sugar.
  2. Once the sugar melts add milk and desiccated coconut. Mix well.
  3. Add the milk powder. Mix well and allow the mixture to cook for 5-7 minutes on a medium flame.
  4. Remove from fire and add the cardamom powder.
  5. In between if you find the mixture to be too dry you can add a tablespoon of milk and heat the mixture a bit.
  6. Allow the mixture to cool. Give it a good knead to form a dough. This way it will be easier to shape the peda and give them smooth finish.
  7. Roll the pedas and garnish with saffron strands as showed or roll them in bura khand and desiccated coconut mixture.

Notes

It is important to lightly knead the mixture to bring it all together.
