Doodh Peda is a very common milk sweet in any sweet stalls. Traditionally, it is prepared using constant stirring of milk which will result in khova which is rolled to make a peda. This traditional method might be a difficult task for many of us and obviously it is time consuming. We can prepare this mouth-watering yummy sweet instantly using condensed milk and milk powder and this method hardly takes 15 minutes to complete the whole process and we could have delicious peda served in no time. Most of us have seen a light yellow colour in peda and this is because of the addition of saffron thread. We could also pack these peda as a gift and present it to anyone. They would surely ask you from which shop you have get ;-). Try this Kesar Doodh Peda Recipe | Instant Milk Peda Recipe | Instant Milk Sweet Recipe and share your experience.
Soak the saffron threads in the milk and keep it ready. Heat a pan with ghee.
Add condensed milk to the pan. Start stirring condensed milk till the milk and ghee gets incorporated fully. Add the milk powder to the pan
Keep stirring till the peda mixture starts to get thicken. When the peda mixture gets thicken, add milk with saffron threads to the pan
Again keep stirring till the whole mixture gets thicker and fluffy and roll like a ball without sticking on to the sides of the pan. Also we could notice that the peda mixture would have got a nice colour. Remove the pan from flame and allow the peda mixture to cool off till you can hold the mixture. Take lemon size quantity out of the mixture and make smooth ball and using your point finger just press a little in the middle to make an small impression.
Repeat this for rest of the dough. Garnish each doodh peda with chopped pistachios
Pack this yummy Kesar Doodh Peda as a gift pack or treat your family with these delicious sweet.
The same can be done with microwave oven.. Thats even simpler.. All the above ingredients should be mixed, cooked in high heat in microwave for 3-4 minutes stirring the mixture and scrapping the sides of the vessel..
I am away from home in Manila Philippines, trying your recipes at free times. Kalyana Rasam came out well. As we get only blenders here, i tried to use the measures four times and made a powder that can be used any time. In the peda, you have put milk powder 4 cups *. I could not find any explanation down below for *- Any suggestion on that.? Kannan
Hi Gayathri, we have to keep stirring the milk powder continuously to avoid the lumps also after we got a dough consistency, when we are able to handle the dough with our hand, we can knead well so that lumps are smoothened. The ratio given above makes softer peda, but if you feel it is very hard, you can add some ghee and knead well again.
