Now coming back to business, today I am going to post a dessert called Milk Pedha (a famous North Indian preparation). This sweet has a Cultural significance during festivals and it is mandatorily offered to the Gods. The most famous Pedas are available in Mathura town in the State U.P and also in a town in Dharwad in Karnataka State. This sweet is mostly round in shape prepared with Khoya ( a milk derivative ) takes less time than other sweets and is liked by child till elders. I have prepared it in microwave to save time. Do give it a try.....
Yields: 20-22 pedas, Preparation time: 7-8 minutes
Ingredients:
1 can Sweet condensed milk (I have used Milkmade)
6 tbsp Unsalted butter
3 cups Milk powder
1/4 tsp Cardamom powder
2 tsp Ghee (for greasing palm only)
Method:
Place butter in a microwave safe bowl and microwave (at 100%) for 12 seconds. Now in the same bowl whisk together milk 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 little ghee before shaping them into lemon sized balls, flatten a bit to give them perfect peda shape. And enjoy this instant peda after keeping them in refrigerator for an hour.
