Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup Mawa / Khoya grated
  • 3 tbsp milk powder unsweetened
  • 7 tbsp refined sugar
  • 0.5 cup milk full cream
  • 2 tsp ghee only if necessay

Instructions
 

  • Set a deep thick bottomed pan on low heat
  • Add the grated Mawa /Khoya and milk powder stir well.
  • As the mixture starts changing color to light brown add one tsp ghee. Don't stop mixing it as it will catch the bottom.
  • If the mixture begins to appear dry at any stage, add a tsp of milk at a time Don’t stop stirring.
  • Once you spread it out in the pan with a spoon, you will see a crumbly texture and dark brown color then add three tbsp. sugar. Take off the flame and cool. So far we have been slowly caramelizing the sugars in the milk solids.
  • Transfer to a food processor and powder the mixture to turn into a pasty.
  • Check the sugar and add as desired. Keep aside two tbsp. for rolling.
  • Put the mixture back on the pan and on low heat. Keep stirring till it comes together and holds well.
  • Turn off the heat and cool for a a few minutes. Don't cool completely as you cannot roll the pedas then.
  • Pinch off small portions as it is warm and make small squarish balls .
  • Roll the pedas in sugar.
  • Save the pedas in an airtight container
