Ghee — Homemade or store-bought pure ghee/ clarified butter is added to the peda mix for its nutty and caramel flavor that elevates the deliciousness of this recipe. Unsalted butter can be used in place of ghee. Sugar — Added as the sweetening agent to this milk peda recipe, sugar adds tons of flavor to these sweet delicacies. Elaichi Powder — Cardamom (Elaichi) powder adds a subtle, pleasant flavor and aroma to the doodh peda recipe, enhancing its delectability. Pistachios — Crushed pistachios are added as garnishing. They also add a slight crunch.
Keep a check over the temperature — High heat will burn the milk peda mixture; therefore, keeping a watch over the temperature is imperative. For an evenly cooked dough, maintain a moderate heat, and keep stirring continuously, while also keeping patience. Prevent burning of ingredients — Continuous stirring will prevent the ingredients from sticking to the bottom and getting burnt. Therefore, keep stirring continuously throughout the cooking process for evenly cooking this doodh peda mixture. Store-bought Mawa — If using store-bought mawa, then that needs to be cooked with other ingredients for a few minutes to form rich and creamy milk pedas. Add some hue to make impressive pedas — A few drops of food color added to the peda mixture will yield great-looking tinted pedas. A few drops of food color are added when the mixture has cooled down, and the dough is kneaded till the color has blended well into the dough. You can then roll the tinted dough into luscious milk pedas.
Fixing a crumbly mixture is very easy. To restore the overcooked mixture devoid of moisture, all you need to do is: add the mixture back to the pan and sprinkle some cream or milk onto it. Blend it well again, and your mix is back to its perfectly moist stage. The remedy for the undercooked mixture is to return it to the pan and cook it until the extra moisture evaporates. While cooking, keep a watch over the heat and the cooking duration, as a bit of excess of any of these may turn it dry. To add richness — Almond milk or ground cashew paste can be added to this milk peda recipe for more richness and drool-worthy deliciousness. Cool the mixture completely before shaping — Hot mix feels sticky, fragile, and difficult to shape into pedas. Therefore, before shaping the dough, let it cool completely. The cooled doodh peda mixture gets a firm texture that helps in proper binding.
For smooth milk pedas — The key to making smooth and luscious milk pedas is to make the dough completely lump-free. The lump-free dough will yield smooth, melt-in-the-mouth textured pedas that taste simply irresistible. Shape the dough as you like — Those who want to devour this milk peda recipe in the form of a burfi can shape the dough as a burfi and not necessarily as pedas. Set the mixture in a tray and cut the set dough into square-shaped burfis. Knead the dough to remove graininess — Graininess may hamper the aesthetics of these delicious pedas, so a quick fix is recommended. Knead the dough if you feel some coarseness in the dough. Kneading will make the mixture smooth, which results in smooth and finest-looking milk pedas. Variations that may excite you —This milk peda recipe is versatile and can be experimented with using different flavors. Try Rooh Afza or Cocoa powder (for chocolate pedas), and you will surely love the results!
