PEDA

Ingredients:
1) 3/4 cup paneer
2) 3/4 cup milk powder
3) 3/4 cup milk
4) 1/2 cup sugar as needed
5) 3 tbsp unsalted butter or ghee
6) 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
7) 1 tsp sliced pistachios

Method:
1) Heat the frying pan on medium. Add butter and let it melt.
2) Next add milk, milk powder, and paneer. Mix it well.
3) Cook mixture on medium heat stirring continuously until mixture starts leaving the sides of the frying pan and becomes like dough. This should take about 12 minutes. This is called as Khoya.
4) Transfer the khoya into a bowl and let it cool off until khoya becomes just lukewarm.
5) Mix the sugar and cardamom powder into the khoya and knead it for about a minute until every thing blends together and become soft dough.
6) Divide the mix into about 12 equal parts and roll them into round balls. Lightly press it down so it looks like small patty.
7) Put few pieces of sliced pistachios on every peda.
8) Pedas should be served at room temperature.
9) Pedas can be kept for few days at room temperature and about a month refrigerated.

Note:
1) Pedas will become soft when the sugar is mixed while khoya is hot.
