   Milk Powder – 1 cup
   Melted butter – 2 tbsp
   Saffron strands – 4-5
   Hot Milk – 2 tbsp
   Pistachio – 1 1/2 tbsp
   Cardamom powder – 1/4 tsp
   Melted ghee/clarified butter – 1 tsp for greasing

Method 


In a non stick pan/heavy bottomed pan, melt butter.

how to make Doodh Peda at home

Switch off the heat. Add condensed milk, milk powder and mix well making sure that there are no lumps.

Switch on the gas stove and cook on low heat stirring continuously.

Kesar Milk Peda

Add saffron milk and continue to cook on low heat stirring continuously. Cook until it leaves the sides of the pan as in the picture below.

Add cardamom powder and remove from heat. Keep stirring for a few seconds off heat. Transfer the mixture to a plate (to prevent it from cooking further in the heat of the pan).

Instant Paal Peda

When the mixture is warm, grease your fingers with ghee and make around 8 or 10 smooth balls.

Make a dent/impression with your thumb in the center and fill chopped pistachio or a mix of chopped almonds, cashew nuts and pistachio in it.

Allow it to set. If you taste it immediately after preparing, it will be a bit chewy and sticky. So keep it aside for 5-6 hours. This instant doodh peda tastes best the next day.

Note – If you over cook the mixture, it tends to be dry and cracked. You can add a little milk and cook again for a few seconds to rectify it.

If you are unable to make balls, it is under cooked. Cook for a few more seconds.

Storage and Shelf Life


Stays good at room temperature for 2 days and for a week, if refrigerated. Bring it to room temperature before serving if refrigerated.

    Hi Padhu, I regularly try your recipes. they are simply yummmmm….
    Is the alternative for condensed milk? If yes, then please let me know the measurements.

    Also, can I use ghee instead of butter??

      This is an instant version of doodh peda – so condensed milk is a must. You can use ghee.
