Milk Peda Recipe (Using Milk Powder, Milk, Sugar & Ghee)

 Ingredients:

1 cup Milk Powder

½ cup Full Cream Milk

¼ cup Sugar (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon Ghee (plus a little extra for greasing hands)

Method:

1. Heat a Non-Stick Pan:

Add ghee and let it melt on low heat.

2. Mix Milk & Milk Powder:

In a bowl, mix milk and milk powder to form a smooth, lump-free mixture.

3. Cook the Mixture:

Pour the mixture into the pan and stir continuously on low to medium flame.

4. Add Sugar:

Once the mixture thickens slightly, add sugar. Stir continuously to dissolve.

5. Cook Until Dough-Like:

Keep stirring until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan and forms a soft, non-sticky mass (should take about 8-10 minutes).

6. Cool Slightly:

Remove from heat and let it cool for 5-7 minutes. The mixture should be warm, not hot.

7. Shape the Pedas:

Grease your palms with ghee, take small portions, roll into balls and gently flatten.

8. Set & Serve:

Let them set for 15-20 minutes at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade pedas!

❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid:

1. Cooking on High Flame:

This can burn the mixture quickly or make the pedas chewy instead of soft.

2. Undercooking the Mixture:

If the mixture is not cooked enough, the pedas will remain sticky and won’t set properly.

3. Overcooking:

Leads to hard, dry pedas. As soon as the mixture leaves the sides of the pan and becomes dough-like, remove from heat.

4. Forming Pedas When Hot:

Shaping pedas when the mixture is too hot can burn your hands and the pedas may crack later.

5. Adding Too Much Sugar:

Extra sugar can make the mixture runny and prevent it from setting.

💡 Tips & Tricks for Perfect Pedas:

Use Full Cream Milk: It gives a rich and authentic taste.

Consistency Check: When the mixture rolls into a soft mass and starts leaving the pan sides cleanly, it's done.

Grease Your Hands Well: This prevents sticking and gives smooth-shaped pedas.

Optional Garnish: You can press a cashew or pistachio on top for a professional look (if using beyond the given ingredients).
