🥘 1. Dharwad Peda (Besan Style)
Ingredients:
1 cup Besan (Gram Flour)
1/2 cup Ghee
3/4 cup Powdered Sugar
1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder
Method: Heat ghee in a pan and roast the besan on a very low flame until it turns golden brown and smells aromatic. Let the mixture cool down to room temperature. Mix in the cardamom powder and powdered sugar. Shape into small round balls and enjoy!
🥘 2. Mathura Peda
Ingredients:
250g Khoya (Mawa)
1/2 cup Boora or Powdered Sugar
1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder
1 tbsp chopped Pistachios for garnish
Method: Crumble the khoya and roast it in a pan on medium-low heat. Stir continuously until it turns a deep, rich brown color. Remove from heat and let it cool until warm. Mix in the cardamom and sugar. Shape into rustic rounds and press a pistachio into the center of each.
🥘 3. Kesar Peda
Ingredients:
250g Khoya (Mawa)
1/2 cup Sugar
1 pinch Saffron strands (soaked in 1 tsp warm milk)
1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder
1 tbsp chopped Pistachios
Method: Cook the khoya and sugar together in a pan until the sugar melts and the mixture thickens. Stir in the saffron milk and cardamom powder. Once the mixture starts leaving the sides of the pan, turn off the heat. Let it cool, then shape into smooth discs. Garnish with saffron and pistachios.
🥘 4. Doodh Peda
Ingredients:
1 cup Milk Powder
1/4 cup Liquid Milk
1/3 cup Sugar
1 tbsp Ghee
1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder
Method: In a non-stick pan, combine liquid milk, ghee, and sugar. Once the sugar dissolves, gradually add milk powder while stirring to prevent lumps. Cook on low heat until the mixture forms a soft dough. Stir in cardamom powder. Once cool enough to handle, grease your palms and roll into smooth, creamy pedas. Top with chopped pistachios.
