When the festive season is on, we all look for sweets and desserts, which are symbols of enjoyment and happiness in India. So sweet dishes come into great demand.
Since our next festival, Raksha Bandhan has been knocking on the door, and we all are very excited about this festival. This festival signifies the special bond between brothers and sisters. This festival is one of the most popular in India and is believed to strengthen the bond between love and care. This day falls on the full moon day (Poornima), and for me, it is also a special occasion.
If I talk about Shravan Poornima, I will say that it is also an auspicious occasion for Maharashtrians. This day is also celebrated with lots of delicious delicacies. Read my Maharashtrian Narali Bhaat recipe.
Coming back to my dessert recipe, we all love sweets. But we rarely found it interesting to spend hours in the kitchen making delicious desserts for any occasion. I don't like I know. So here is a quick recipe that took me 5 minutes to make this Kesar peda. Yes, you read it right. Only 5 minutes.
What is peda?
Peda is an Indian dessert that is made with khoya or evaporated milk. Milk is reduced till it solidifies, and this is called khoya. Khoya is the main ingredient for peda.
Here, I took only 3 ingredients. Ghee or melted butter, Milk Powder, and condensed milk. That's all. Delicious peda is ready in minutes. Only time is required to cool it before shaping. Also, since it's Kesar Peda, add some saffron strands or a few drops of food color.
North India is very famous for milk desserts, especially this peda. You must have heard about "Mathura ka Peda". So it's that famous there.
How it's made traditionally?
If you make the peda using a traditional method, it will be more time-consuming. You need to prepare khoya by reducing milk. This is a time-consuming process. You need to cook khoya in ghee with sugar. You can also buy khoya or mawa from the market. And make peda with that.
But if you don't get that in the market, you can always have these superheroes to save you for desserts. i.e., condensed milk and the second one is milk powder. These two will be the best substitutes for mawa or khoya.
How to make this easy kesar peda?
Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a pan. Add condensed milk and milk powder. Mix them well. The condensed milk will melt. Add the saffron milk and cardamom powder to the pan. Keep stirring until it solidifies and forms a khoya-like structure. You can also name this instant khoya.
When the mixture starts leaving the pan, remove it from heat. This is perfect for binding. Don't over-stir; otherwise, it will be very tight and chewy. The whole process will take hardly 5 minutes or even less.
Let it cool slightly. Grease your palm with ghee and take out small portions. Make small balls and press them slightly with a finger. Garnish with saffron strands or any dry fruits of your choice.
