INGREDIENTS:  

1 cup (100 g) powdered milk 

150 ml sweetened condensed milk  

1/4 tsp cardamom powder  

2 tbsp milk, warm  

1 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)  

2 pinches saffron  

Pistachios, chopped for garnish 

METHOD:  

1. Heat a heavy-bottomed pot on medium-low heat.  
2. Add ghee and once melted, pour in condensed milk. Stir until well combined 
3. Add milk powder, saffron and cardamom powder to the mix and incorporate well 
4. The mixture will come together in approx 5 minutes and leave the sides of the pan 
5. Let mixture cool a minute or two before rolling into balls 
6. Rub some ghee on a plate for placing pedas after rolling. This will keep pedas from sticking 
7. Once the mixture has cooled, rub some ghee on both palms. Use a small spoon to scoop about 1 tbsp peda mixture. Roll into a ball and slightly flatten with both palms. You can add more designs on it to make it look festive. 
8. Continue to roll pedas work quickly before mixture hardens 
9. Garnish each peda with pistachios  
10. Let pedas cool a few hours to firm up
