Equipment
- Microwave
Ingredients
- 1 Can (397 gmCaramel condensed milk (one can even use simple condensed milk)
- 400 gms Milk powder
- 3 tablespoon of ghee/Clarified Butter
- 100 grams desiccated coconut
- 200 ml milk
- 2-3 pinches of saffron
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 10-12 almonds flakes or sliced for garnish
Instructions
- In a large microwave safe bowl add all the ingredients except almonds.
- Mix everything with a spatula and cook in microwave on high power for 2 minutes.
- Remove and stir.
- Repeat the process in batches of 2 minutes and at the end of 8-9 minutes in batches of 1 minute.
- Repeat until mixture resembles a semi stiff mass. It should take around 11-12 minutes depending on your microwave.
- Let the mixture cool down for at least 1.5-2 hours.
- Once cooled, shape it into desired shape.I simply made it in peda shape, and then formed an indentation on the top and decorated with almond flakes.
- Store this in an airtight container in the fridge. When stored in the fridge they stay good for at least 2 weeks.
Notes
- 1 Cup = 235 ml, 1 tablespoon = 15ml, 1 teaspoon = 5ml
- When cooking in a microwave always use short burst of cooking. The food might get cooked fast and it might burn.
- One can use 1 min of burst instead of 2 mins.
- One can even use simple condensed milk instead of caramel condensed milk. The taste would change as it will not have the caramel flavour
