Ingredients
- 15 oz Ricotta Cheese
- 2 cups non-fat dry milk (milk powder)
- ¼ milk
- ¼ cup raw organic sugar or preferred sweetener; adjust to taste
- 3-4 whole green cardamom about ½ teaspoon Elachi powder
- 2 tablespoons ghee or unsalted butter divided
FOR GARNISH (optional)
- 2-3 whole green cardamom about ¼ teaspoon Elachi powder
- Few strands of saffron
- 1-2 tablespoon choice of nuts chopped (almonds, pistachios)
- Few dried rose petals
Instructions
- In a non-stick or heavy bottom pan, combine milk, milk powder, and ricotta cheese.
- Place the pan on medium heat, and cook the mixture stirring frequently, until it starts to leave the sides of the pan, and forms a smooth dough ball.Note: Initially, the mixture will be in liquid form, gradually it will come to a solid state. This process will take around 15-20 minutes.
- Stir in sugar, and cardamom powder and mix well. Cook the mixture until the sugar dissolves and the mixture once again forms a smooth dough.Note: Check the consistency of the dough. Take a small portion of the mixture and roll it between your fingers, you should be able to form a smooth ball without cracking the dough. If the dough cracks mean it’s dry and overcooked. Add some milk and cook the dough until smooth.
- Add ghee and mix well until the ghee is absorbed about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the mixture to a silicon mat or a clean plate.
- When the mixture is still warm but can be handled comfortably, knead the dough for a few minutes.Note: Kneading the dough helps improve the texture of the peda.
- Once the dough becomes shiny and the mixture does not stick to your hands. Divide the dough into equal portions and shape it into a round shape.
- (Optional) You can use some design stamps for a pattern on the peda.
- Sprinkle some cardamom powder, saffron strands (optional), and nuts.
- Peda is ready to be devoured!
