In most of my desserts, I tend to use a lot of condensed milk. One because it eliminates the use of sugar and second it adds a lovely creamy texture to the dessert. The pedas were prepared for my husband who has a sweet tooth and wanted authentic mithai on Diwali. Unfortunately in the place where we live (Payyanur, Kerala), we don't get good sweets. So here is the recipe which worked well and we also gifted it to our friends on Diwali.
Ingredients:
200 gms paneer (you could use the Amul paneer, fresh one or make it at home)
1/2 tin condensed milk
4 elaichi/cardamom powdered
Few strands Kesar or yellow food color (optional)
Method:
Mash the paneer well (This can be done in your food processor too).
In the pan mix the paneer and condensed milk well.
Turn on the flame and cook the mixture for around 15 minutes.
The mixture should start turning thick but not too thick or else your pedas will be too hard.
Turn off the flame and add the powdered elaichi and food color or kesar.
Mix well.
Let the mixture cool for a while and then start rolling them in the shape of the pedas.
