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.
