  7. When the mixture is cooled completely shape into small roundels and flatten it a bit.

Notes

  • The quantity of ghee/butter to be used is entirely up to you.
  • I used 1/2 cup butter and found lot of fat releasing while shaping the Pedas. It was not felt later while eating.
  • The sugar may seem less but was fine. If you prefer your sweets to be on a sweeter side you may want to add a couple of tablespoons more.
