    Instant Kesar Peda recipe with milk powder in 10 minutes. You can make this quick and instant Peda recipe without condensed milk or khoya or mawa. When you want some quick sweet mithai recipe for the festivals make this kesar Peda instantly.

    Milk Peda is a popular sweet from Indian sweet shops. Traditionally, the milk peda recipe takes a lot of time to make. But there are many variations and flavours of peda available these days.

    There are many variations of peda recipes as well. You can make Peda with khoya or peda with condensed milk. In both these methods, you need to spend some time making pedas but in this Instant recipe, I make Peda without condensed milk or khoya.

    • 📖 Recipe

    At most festivals like Diwali, Holi, Raksha Bandhan I like to make quick sweets. Kesar Peda features mostly on our festive sweet menu. This rich peda recipe which is a kind of fudge is made with dried milk solids, milk, sugar and your favourite flavourings.

    In this recipe, I have used rational and most popular flavours of saffron or cardamom. You can use rose water or kewra if you wish to.

    Kesar peda recipe

    Why Do We Love This Recipe?

    • This Is an Instant Recipe
    • It tastes just like the Peda you get in the Mithai shop.
    • The flavour of Kesar and Elaichi adds a lot of taste to Peda.

    Ingredients for Instant Kesar Peda

    Milk Powder: Milk solids or milk powder. The dairy whitener will not work for this recipe.

    Milk: Whole milk or regular milk both work fine.

    Sugar: Use powdered sugar for easy incorporation.

    Flavourings: Cardamom powder, saffron

    How to Make Kesar Peda with Milk Powder?

    Making Peda Mixture

    • First Soak 10-15 strands of Saffron in 2 tablespoons of water. Keep it aside.
    • Next, in a non-stick pan add ⅓ cup milk and add 1.5 cup milk powder. Mix and make a smooth mixture.
    • Take care that there should be no lumps.
    • Now place this pan over low heat and keep it stirring for 4-5 minutes till the mixture thickens.
    • Now switch off the heat and add powdered sugar, cardamom powder and ghee. 
    • Mix and stir well. 
    • Switch on heat and cook on slow for one minute till everything gets incorporated and a homogenised mix is formed.

    Shaping Peda

    • Remove the mixture from the pan to a plate. Now apply a bit of ghee on your hands, take a small portion of the milk solids mixture and roll it into a ball shape.
    • Make balls from all the milk solid mixture. You can make approximately 14-15 balls.
    • Place these balls on a plate and press either with a Peda stamp or the back of a glass to mark the design impression.
    • If you do not have a peda stamp you can simply make a thumb impression and garnish with chopped pistachios.
    • Allow them to cool and enjoy these delicious sweet Kesar Peda. 

    Recipe Notes & Expert Tips

    Do not skip ghee; it adds a nice texture to the kesar peda recipe. 

    Shape Peda while milk solids are still warm once milk solidifies after cooling down it is difficult to shape them.

    Always soak saffron in water for maximum flavour and beautiful colour. Soaking saffron in milk does not release its maximum flavour. I always use this trick that I learned from a saffron trader in Dubai’s spice souk.

      There is no mention of adding the kesar water at any step?
