Khoa or khoya is the main ingredient to make this yummy dessert and is flavored with cardamom and Pistachios and sometimes also saffron. During festive season it is very difficult to get khoa so here is a good alternative to make this peda in a very simple way without using khoa.
Ingredients:
2 cups Milk Powder
½ cup Melted ghee
1 can condensed milk (14 oz can)
Few chopped pistachios for decoration
1 tsp cardamom powder

Method:

In a microwave safe bowl Mix together Ghee and milk powder, add condensed milk and mix again, make sure no lumps remain.

Microwave this mixture on high for 1 min. remove and stir well. Now repeat this same process for 3 more min and make sure You mix well each time afer every min.

Once the mixture is cooked for 4 mins Let the mixture cool down for few min. add cardamom powder and mix well then divide it in 30 equal parts. Now roll them between your palms and press gently to give nice shape. Decorate each peda with chopped pistachios. These pedhas Can be Stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 4 to 5 days.

Enjoy!

*try to make them 1 day before as they taste better next day.
