Milk Peda

Sweets and me , we have an ongoing love affair :). I love sweets so much that during my pregnancy they were the root cause of my needing to go on a controlled diet :(
Recently i happened to be uploading some photos of Sweets and Dishes that i had made on Facebook and a lot of my friends wanted the recipe for Pedas. 
This recipe is a microwave version that i first tried out in 2009 when i had too much milk powder sitting idle at home and when i first started having my cravings for anything sweet :P . 
Very frankly i don't remember from where i got this recipe as back in 2009 i never blogged about Food and hence though i made a note of the recipe , i did not make a note of from where i got the recipe.


So the credit and my heartfelt thanks goes to whosoever gave me the recipe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The ingredients needed and the procedure on how to make it are very simple and it should hardly take more than 15 mins of your time to make these . 

Ingredients :


Milk Powder - 2cups
Condensed Milk - 14oz can
Butter - 4oz (at room temperature)
Saffron strands - a few 
Nuts - Any that you may have at home . I used Almonds.
Ghee - 2 to 3 tsps


How to go about making the Pedas :


Take a Microwave(MW) safe Glass bowl and make sure it is deep and big enough to mix all of the above.
Add butter to the bowl and MW for a minute. If the butter has not melted MW for another 30secs.
To the butter add milk powder and stir it in slowly and make sure there are no lumps.
To the above add the can of condensed milk and stir it completely.
Place the bowl in the MW and leave it on for a minute.
Remove the bowl from the MW , stir the mixture and make sure there are no lumps. Leave it again for another minute.  When you remove the bowl from the MW you can see that the mixture has started to thicken. Stir the mixture and place it for 1 more minute.
If at the end of 3 minutes the mixture is not thick you can heat it again in the MW in 30sec intervals
Allow the mixture to cool for 15 to 20 mins.
Now apply ghee on your palms , take a small quantity of the mixture ( enough to make a ball ) and roll it in your hands.
Flatten it  , make a small hole in the center and place the Almond ( or any nut of your choice) in the center. 
Repeat the process for the entire mixture. 


Your yummy pedas are now ready to be served !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


These are so easy to make that if you have milk powder and condensed milk you can make these in batches and serve for any get-together or even for parties , potlucks :).
