How To Make Peda (Milk Fudge) at Home ?

Easy homemade Peda (Milk Fudge) recipe

Peda, a popular Indian sweet, can be easily made at home, especially a quick version using milk powder and condensed milk. This method saves time compared to the traditional lengthy process of simmering milk to create mawa (khoya or milk solids). 



Ingredients

1 can (14 oz or 396g) sweetened condensed milk

1 ¾ cups milk powder

1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter), reserving some for greasing hands

1 tablespoon milk

A pinch of cardamom powder

A pinch of saffron (optional)

¼ cup pistachios or other nuts of your choice, chopped for garnish 


Instructions

Prepare the saffron (optional): If using saffron, warm milk and add saffron strands and cardamom powder to infuse.

Combine ingredients: In a non-stick pan, mix condensed milk and milk powder until smooth.

Cook the mixture: Heat on medium-low, stirring until the mixture thickens.

Add ghee and flavorings: Once the mixture leaves the sides of the pan, add ghee and the infused milk (if using) and continue mixing until a dough forms.

Check for doneness: Test by rolling a small piece; it should hold its shape without sticking. Adjust cooking time or add milk if needed.

Cool and shape: Transfer the mixture to a greased surface and let it cool until warm enough to handle.

Form the pedas: Grease your hands, take small portions, roll them into balls, and flatten slightly. You can also use a mold.

Garnish and set: Make an indentation and garnish with nuts. Let them cool completely to firm up.

Store: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. 


Tips for perfect pedas

Mix ingredients thoroughly before heating to avoid lumps.

Cook on low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Avoid overcooking, which makes pedas hard.

Grease hands when shaping to prevent sticking.

Allow pedas to set completely for the best texture.

 

Enjoy your delicious homemade pedas!
