Ingredients

1 cup milk powder

1/2 tin condensed milk

2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder

a pinch of cardamom powder

2 tsp milk

1 tsp ghee + extra for greasing

chopped nuts for garnishing(here I have used chopped pistachios)

Method

• In a non-stick pan, add the milk powder, cocoa powder, condensed milk and milk. Heat this mixture on low flame, stirring continuously.
• Keep stirring continuously until the mixture starts to thicken and starts leaving the sides of the pan.Initially it may seem a bit watery but slowly it will start thickening. Once it starts sticking to the spatula and seems like a sticky dough, add 1 tsp ghee and mix well.
•  Transfer this dough into a plate greased with ghee.

• Once it cools a bit(so that it can be kneaded with your hands), add the cardamom powder and knead the peda mixture for a few seconds.
• Shape small pedas with the dough and garnish with chopped nuts.
