Doodh(Milk) Peda

Starting the blog with a sweet dish. And given that it is Deepavali (the festival of lights)tomorrow , it is very apt. This one is a quick microwave recipe.  It is easy and delicious, takes around 5 to 10 mins.

Ingredients:
Sweetened Condensed Milk: 14oz
Milk Powder: 2 and a 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder: less than 1/2 a tsp
few sprigs of saffron
unsalted butter: 1 tbsp

Procedure:
Add all the above ingredients and whip them together. I used a hand blender, to ensure that there are no lumps of milk powder.

Keep it in the microwave for 2 mins. Keep a watch to make sure that it doesn't overflow. After being heated it looks like this.

Let it cool down for a few minutes. It should be warm enough for you to handle. Mix it well once.

Make small balls while it is warm. If you find it hard to make the balls, add some more milk powder.

Make a design on top. Milk Pedas are ready.
