How to cook KESAR MAWA PEDA
- Warm up the cream in M/W for 20 seconds.
- Meanwhile, grind the saffron in mortar and pestle.
- Add in warm cream.
- Let it steep in the cream for about 30 minutes or more. I left it in the fridge whole night.
- Heat ghee in a heavy-based kadai, add khoya and roast the mawa on a low heat for a couple of minutes.
- Then add sugar and saffron-infused cream, combine well and cook the mixture till sugar dissolves.
- Keep stirring the mixture until mixture leaves sides of the pan.
- Switch off the heat.
- Add cardamom and nutmeg powder and mix well. Let it cool a little.
- Rub some ghee on your palm and knead the mixture while it is slightly warm.
- Form equal size of balls and flatten them slightly. or give them a shape of your choice.
- Also, you can give them some imprints or design.
- Garnish with slivered nuts and saffron threads.
- Serve as a prasad or devour on this festive season with friends and family.
NOTES:
Use full-fat milk powder and double cream if you can't get hold of khoya, but increase the volume of the double cream.
