Pedas are very popular Indian sweets. Like most Indian sweets, pedas have diverse regional variations as they are combined with various other ingredients like saffron, cardamom seeds and wheat flour. I have made chocolate peda today even the very mention of chocolate in any dish makes my son's eyes light up and he becomes eager :-) This microwave process is so simple that you simply can't go wrong with this even the first time you prepare it.
Serves: Makes about 22-24 pedas, Preparation time: 6-7 minutes
Ingredients:
1 can (14 0z.) Condensed milk
6 tbsp unsalted Butter
3 cup Milk powder
1/4 tsp Cardamom powder (eliachi)
1/2 cup Cocoa powder
For decoration : 1 tbsp grated chocolate and 10-12 cashews
Method:
Place butter in a microwave safe bowl and microwave (at100%) for 12 seconds. Now in the same bowl whisk together milk powder, choco powder, condensed milk and cardamom powder. Total time to microwave this mixture is 8 minutes, however, to allow uniform gelling of the mixture, take out the mixture from the microwave after every 2 minutes and stir well. Let the mixture cool down. Grease your palm with a little ghee before shaping them in our desired shapes, so that the mixture doesn't stick to your palm. Decorate the pedas with grated chocolate and cashews. Enjoy !!!
