Instructions

  • 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.

  • * Place these balls on a plate and press either with Peda stamp or the back of a glass to mark the design impression.

Notes

  • Do not skip ghee it adds nice texture to 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 it’s maximum flavour. I always use this trick that I learned from a saffron trader in Dubai’s spice souk.
