Back to blog after a very long break! Family and travel has seen the little spare time I have being completely taken up, and rightly so :) Unpack and settle back into routines and here it is....festive season is upon us again. Time for more fun and social gatherings, but also time to think of which festive sweets to whip up at home without spending too much time and effort.
Having a little one at home, this sweet treat is one enjoyed in our house not just at festive times - Doodh Peda, my quick version! Here it is :)
Ingredients (for about 15 peda): 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 3 to 4 cups of milk powder, few tablespoons clarified butter/ghee, 1 teaspoon cardamom powder, nuts or sultanas for decoration.
Make: Empty the can of condensed milk into a thick bottom pan and warm on low flame. Gradually mix in the milk powder and continue to mix. Add in the cardamom powder and ghee. Keep stirring on low flame and if too watery, add a little more milk powder.
After about 15 minutes, the mixture should be at the right consistency and will leave the sides of the pan easily. Take off the flame and let cool slightly. Take small amounts into your hands and roll into balls then press to form this shape shown in the picture. Use butter/ghee on your hands if needed. Decorate as desired. Serve after fully cooled.
Enjoy! Happy festivities!
