Ingredients:
4 cups milk
1 cup sugar
Cardamom powder
Ghee
Method:
Heat the milk on a medium low heat stirring continuously. (First hour, stir it only once in about 3-5mins but after 1st hr you need to stir continuously).
When the milk is reduced to one cup (measure it after approximately 3hrs) to see if it is 1 cup. Then add the sugar. Keep mixing. When it starts leaving edges and looks quite dry, add the cardamom powder.
Take it out on a plate greased with ghee. Let it cool to room temperature. Make the pedas.
Makes about 15 pedas
Preparation time : 4hrs
PS: Use whole milk for a better result.
Use thick bottomed pans for reducing milk, since milk sticks to bottom very easily. A wide bottomed pan saves a lot of time.
If you have a large quantity of milk, you can keep the heat on medium initially for about hour or so and keep stirring frequently.
Some people add some dry fruits or saffron/food color to give extra flavor/color to it. I prefer the pure one, so I haven’t used any.
