Milk Pedas

I may be HR professional by occupation, but love to cook. I have started this blog to share my recipes and those recipes which are the best in this world. As we Indians believe, I will start this blog with an easy and well-known sweet - Milk Pedas. Lets start with it.



Serves: 36 pieces
Time required: 1/2 hr.
Shelf Life: 15 days (refrigerated)

INGREDIENTS

500 gms. khoya/mawa (For my foreign visitors, Khoya is a dried whole milk or milk thickened made by heating milk in an open iron pan to condensation)
300 gms. sugar
3 drops edible color
8 to 10 Pistas sliced (Sliced Pistachio)
1/2 tsp. cardamom powder
Cookie mold


METHOD

Grate khoya. Powder sugar. Mix together in a skillet. Heat on low flame, and stir continuously. Cook till mixture thickens. It should form a very soft lump.
Cool for 10 minutes. Add cardamom powder & colour. Mix well. Take a small fistful of mixture. Form a ball. Press into the cookie mold. Turn out carefully. Press 2-3 slices of pista on the center. Repeat for remaining mixture.
(If you do not have cookie mold, you can use your hand to give it a shape. Shape can be anything.)
