• 1 tbsp clarified butter (शुद्ध देसी घी )

For garnish -

Method

• Mix milk powder, sugar, and milk in a pan/kadhai. Mix the ingredients well and ensure there are no lumps.

• Start heating this mixture on a low flame. Keep stirring it continuously.

• The mixture will start to thicken.

• When the mixture attains the consistency of a dough, turn off the heat.

• Remove it on a plate and let it cool down.

• After 10-15 minutes, when the mixture is not too hot to handle, take small portions of this mixture and make pedas.

• Garnish with nuts.

MALAI PEDA ARE READY TO BE SERVED !!

Notes -

• It is imperative that you keep stirring the mixture while heating it on a low flame. This mixture tends to stick to the bottom of the pan/kadhai and burn. So, be very careful.

• Initially, if you feel that the mixture is not smooth, you can add more milk to it.

• You can adjust the amount of sugar added as per your taste. If you want your pedas to be less sweet, add less sugar. Adding a little more than 1/4 cup sugar instead of 1/2 cup should give you less sweet pedas.
