Kesar Badam Peda (ಫೇಡ)

Peda (ಫೇಡ) is the most easiest to prepare of all the other Indian Sweets.Kesar (Saffron) gives not only a slight yellowish color to the Peda but also makes it very tasty.I am using Badam (Almonds) for decoration.

Here goes the recipe.

Ingredients:

1. Milk Powder- 3 Cups
2. Sugar  - 3/4 Cup
3. Whole Milk - 300 ml
4. Elaichi Powder(Cardamom)- 1 Tsp
5. Saffron- A few strands (Soaked in Whole Milk)
6. Almond Pieces- For Decoration
7. Ghee- 1/2 tsp for greasing the plate

Preparation:

1. Take a microwave safe dish and add milk powder,sugar,cardamom powder and mix well.
2. Now add the whole milk along with the saffron and slowly mix.
3. Place this bowl in the microwave for 3 minutes.
4. Remove from microwave and mix well.You will notice the mixture becoming watery.
5. Place the bowl in the microwave again for another 3 minutes.
6. Please Note you are placing this mixture in the microwave for a total of 6 minutes.
7. Now you could make small balls of the mixture and place it in a greased tray.
8. Decorate them with sliced almonds.

Tip:Make sure you make the balls while the mixture is hot.Dip your hand in cold water while making them into round balls and flatten them a little.
