Kesar Peda Recipe

Step 1

Add milk to a small bowl and microwave on high for 10 seconds. Sprinkle saffron threads over and let them bloom until the milk turns orange, about 3 minutes.

Step 2

To a medium heavy bottomed pot, add condensed milk, ghee and bring to a gentle simmer. Add saffron milk, salt and cardamom powder, and whisk to combine. Then add milk powder and stir to combine, until there are no lumps.

Step 3

Cook on medium low heat, until the mixture starts to resemble a thick batter, about 14 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into a bowl. Cool for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Rub your hands with a little bit of ghee. Take 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form into small balls, flattening into small disks. Using the back of a fork, make imprints on the disks. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
