NUTRITIONAL FACTS FOR MILK PEDA:
Pictorial:
1)Making milk peda at home is very easy to make. All you need is to mix few ingredients together in a bowl and mix. First take a bowl. Add in powdered sugar in a bowl. You can powder normal sugar in a blender and powder it. Or you can use icing sugar or confectioners sugar. I used 1/2 cup of sugar. You can add more or as needed.
2)Add in milk powder. This is also known as dry milk powder. You can use non fat dry milk powder or normal milk powder.
3)Mix well
4)Add in cashew powder. This is optional. You can either skip this or use any nuts powder. You could add almond powder too.
5)Now add in ghee little by little. You could use some warm ghee so the sugar starts to melt faster.
6)If the mixture is not coming together, you could add some milk and make a dough. Adding milk to peda will reduce the shelf life of the peda. You have to store the peda in fridge if you use milk.
7)Now lets shape the peda. Take small portion of the dough.
8)Roll it into a smooth ball
9)Flatten it gently
10)Arrange it in a platter. You can place them in fridge for few hours.
11)Decorate the top with powdered nuts. I used cashew. You could decorate with almonds or pistachios.
