❤️Why I Love This Peda Recipe
You’ll need 5 ingredients only (3 are main + 2 flavoring).
In the step by step photos of making milk peda recipe, I have used microwave. Though you can cook on stovetop (detailes mentioned below).
It takes only 3-4 minutes of cooking time. Then few minutes to let it cool down to touch and few minutes to shape them. So in total (from start to finish) you will need only 10 minutes to make peda.
🧾Ingredients
Here is the pic of the ingredients used in making this doodh peda recipe. 3 ingredients (condensed milk, milk powder and butter) are the main. Rest 2 (cardamom and saffron) are used for flavoring.
Please, please always use full fat milk powder. In USA, we get only nonfat one in American grocery stores. You will find full fat one in Indian grocery store. Many times it is labeled as mawa powder.
