Serves: 40½" pedas
- 300 to 320 Gm homemade khova/khoya recipe
- 2 Tbsp ghee
- 8-10 powdered elaichi
- 1¼ Cup powdered or icing sugar
- Few drops of milk
- Peda Stamp (optional)
- ½ or 1 Tbsp measure to get even sized pedas
- In a pan, add ghee and bring to low heat
- Take the homemade khova/khoya and add to the pan
- Slowly break the khova/khoya with the edge of the spatula
- Keep mixing and breaking the khova/khoya solids, do not leave it unattended
- After 10-12 minutes the colour on the peda changes to mild golden and you get an aromatic fragrance
- Add the elaichi powder and mix well
- Turn off heat, and let it cool
- Now add powdered sugar and mix well
- Crumble the mixture and ensure the sugar is mixed well
- Add little ghee and a few drops of milk if necessary
- Make into a smooth dough
- Now pinch off ½ Tbsp of dough and roll into a ball
- Make all balls in a similar fashion
- Press with a peda stamp if you like
- Make all pedas, store in an airtight container when they dry up a bit
Adding milk reduces the shelf life of the pedas
Do not overfry the mixture, it becomes hard and chewy
Use any size spoon to make the pedas but make even sized pedas
