Microwaveable Maava Pedhas


These yummy maava pedhas can be made with the utmost ease in your microwave within 30 minutes!! Give them a try.

Ingredients:

2 cups milk powder
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz.)
1 tbsp. butter, at room temperature
1/4 tsp. cardamom/elaichi powder
few strings saffron, crushed or whole

Method:

Mix together milk powder, condensed milk and cardamom pdr using a whisker, egg beater or fork. Add butter and whisk again for a min. Stir in the saffron and mix well. Now take this mixture in a microwaveable bowl and microwave this mixture on high for 2 mins, or until it starts boiling/bubbling. Take the bowl out, mix it well, then microwave it again until it bubbles/churns. Repeat this (take out, mix, then microwave again) recipe 3-4 times until the mixture starts to thicken/harden a bit to your liking.
Finally, remove, let cool slightly, so that you can handle it with your hands. Grease your hands with a little ghee, and make small balls of the mixture while its still warm. Flatten slightly as the balls are made to resemble the shape of a "pedha". If you need to decorate these with lines/design, use a toothpick. Set to cool, then store away.
