Instructions

Make Milk Peda Mixture

  • Heat up ghee in a nonstick wok - I like Ballarini PFOA nonstick.
  • Add whole milk. Let it heat up for a minute or two.
  • Add milk powder or mawa powder. This is easily available at the Desi Grocery Store.
  • Work quick and stir the mawa and milk together so there are no lumps.
  • 2-3 minutes later, the mixture should start coming together.
  • At this time, add powdered sugar.
  • Add ground cardamom.
  • 2 minutes later, the mixture will start coming together.
  • 3-4 minutes later - the mixture will turn into halwa.
  • TEST - Take a small amount of the peda mixture and rub it between your fingers, if it forms into a ball, the mixture is ready.

Form Milk Peda

  • Transfer the batter into a bowl. Let it cool - this will take about 30 minutes.
  • Take a small amount of the batter into the palm of your hands.
  • Form a ball.
  • Place the peda ball on a plate.
  • Press the center using your thumb, or you can also use a peda maker if you can find one.
  • Add pistachio in the center.
