Easy to make milk peda using milk powder and condensed milk
Servings: 35 pedas
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk powder
- 1 tin condensed milk 395 gms
- a pinch Saffron optional
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tsp butter | ghee
Instructions
- Soak the saffron in a tbsp of warm milk for 10 minutes.
- In a wide non-stick pan, combine the condensed milk and milk powder and mix it into a smooth paste without any lumps. It should be like a thick idli batter.
- Add butter | and ghee to this and start mixing them on a low flame.
- Add the saffron milk to this and mix well without getting it burnt.
- I added a pinch of Everest Milk masala to get an enhanced flavor.
- After 7-8 minutes the mixture will come out like a softball without sticking to the bottom.
- Stop the flame and allow it to become warm.
- Grease your hands with butter | and ghee and grease the chapathi rolling stick too.
- Grease the base as well and knead the mass of peda and roll it into a circle of your desired thickness.
- I wanted to get a perfect shape so adapted this easy way and made cute shapes with cookie cutter. Thank u so much Nags for the cookie cutter ,i loved the cute edges.
- If you don’t have the cookie cutter you can just make small balls and flatten it.
Notes
Note:
1. Do not cook till it becomes a hard mass, just take it when it gathers a mass by not sticking to the bottom. When it cools down slightly it will be thick. 2. If it is too thick the pedas will be hard. In that case, just sprinkle a few drops of milk and knead it and make pedas. 3. I added saffron to get the kesar flavor, you can add a tbsp of cocoa powder to get chocolate peda or you can cardamom powder to get a nice cardamom flavor. 4. My friend told when she tried it in the microwave and she used 1 and 3/4 cups of milk powder. 5. This Milk peda can be stored in the refrigerator for a week.
