1 cup milk powder

1-1/2 cups condensed milk

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon melted ghee (clarified butter)

1/10 teaspoon cardamom powder / crushed cardamoms

Few pistachios (chopped)

Few almonds (chopped) optional

1/8 teaspoon saffron strands

1/8 teaspoon kesari food color

 

How to make kesar Peda:-

·         Keep the required ingredients ready for making kesar peda and put the saffron strands in 2 tbsp. of warm milk. Set aside.

·         Now combine the milk and milk powder in a non-stick pan and stir continuously on a low flame till it thickens. The thickened milk should look like a mawa.

·         Gradually add sugar and stir till it dissolves. It is best to keep stirring the milk to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

·         Add saffron strands and cardamom powder to the thickened milk and mix well. Add 1 tsp. of melted ghee, so that peda should become moist from inside.

·         Mix a pinch of kesari food color. (kesar brings a little color to the peda, but if you are adding a pinch of kesari food color, then peda looks more yummy and tempting).

·         When the mawa becomes thick, add chopped dry nuts and switch it off. Knead the mawa and then let it cool.

·         Prepare small balls from the mixture, flatten and garnish with chopped pistachios.

·         Tasty and healthy homemade kesar peda are ready to serve.
