Ingredients

    300 grams Khoya (Mawa), store bought or home made
    4 tablespoons Sugar
    1 teaspoon Saffron strands
    2 tablespoons Milk
    1/4 teaspoon Cardamom Powder (Elaichi)
    1 tablespoon Pistachios, sliced
    1/2 teaspoon Ghee, optional

Instructions for Kesar Peda Recipe

    1

    To begin making the Kesar Peda Recipe, gently warm the milk without boiling it and soak the saffron in it. Keep this aside for 10 minutes.

    2

    In a pan or kadai, add crumbled khoya and sugar. Cook this on a low heat for 4-5 minutes stirring continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved. The khoya will first melt and then thicken again. 

    3

    Stir continuously till the khoya thickens and be careful not to burn the khoya.  

    4

    Once the khoya has thickened, add saffron milk and powdered cardamom to it. Cook for a few more minutes till the khoya thickens up considerably and resembles a sticky dough like consistency and stars leaving the sides of the pan.

    5

    At this stage, turn off the heat and allow the peda mixture to cool.

    6

    Once the mixture is cool enough to touch, knead it lightly to get rid of any lumps so you have a smooth mixture. You can add a little ghee at this stage to give it a good shine.

    7

    Roll the kesar peda mixture into a log and cut 12 equal pieces.

    8

    Roll each of peda portions into small balls, make a small dent in the center and add the pista slices. Or you could use a peda mould if you have one, like shown in the image. Once shaped the Kesar Peda is ready to be served.

    9

    Serve the Kesar Peda as a dessert along with a festive meal of Tandoori Gobi Tikka RecipeHariyali Paneer Tikka Masala Gravy Recipe and Modur Pulao With Pomegranate Recipe.
