Kesari and Milk Pedas #SaffronBites #MilkBites

Holi was round the corner and buying sweets from traditional sellers was a BIG no no due to the adulteration stories all around. BUT..everyone loves sweets and c'mon it was HOLI. So I tried a quick recipe for home made pedas and milk cake. This recipe is based on the one I found on another blog.

Ingredients:

• Instant Dry Milk (Milk Powder) – 2 cups (150gm)
• Sweetened Condensed Milk - 1, 14oz can (396gm)
• Unsalted Butter – 1, 4oz stick (113gm) or Desi Ghee
• Saffron
• Yellow Food Colour

Method:

• In a microwave safe dish, melt the butter.
• Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
• Cook in the microwave for 3 minutes, stirring very well after every minute.
• After the 3 minutes, mix well again and leave aside for the mixture to cool down enough to handle.
• Once the mixture has cooled down, grease your hands and make balls.
• Gently press the balls and flatten them to shape…round and flat.
• Decorate them with colored sugar, almonds, cashews, pistachios or raisins.
• Let the pedas set and cool down.
