Ingredients

2 tbsp ghee
1 cups Full fat Milk Powder I used Nido brand
200 gms/7 oz/half can of Condensed Milk
1/4 tsp Elaichi powder/Green cardamom powder
2 tsp warm milk for soaking saffron
15-20 strands of saffron

Instructions

Soak saffron in warm milk and set aside
In a pan, on low heat, put ghee and melt
Add condensed milk and keep stirring till it mixed well, on low flame
Add milk powder,elaichi powder/green cardamom powder and saffron and continue stirring, on low till it leaves sides and becomes doughy, remove from heat
While STILL WARM, shape into pedas and make an indentation with your index finger
Garnish with additional saffron and pistachios
Lasts upto a week in the fridge

Notes

Cook on low the entire time and remove from heat as soon as it leaves sides and becomes doughy. Its important to shape them while still warm. I doubled the recipe and realized that by the time I came to shaping the last few, the dough was beginning to crack while shaping. If you are making a large quantity, its better to make two batches of peda instead of doubling the recipe.
