Namaskar! Welcome to Nishmadhulika.com
We all love to eat sweets but we usually buy it from sweet shops.
If we make the sweets at our home, it will be even more delicious.
Today, we will make kesar peda.
Kesar peda is very easy and quick to make.
Let’s make Kesar peda.
250 grams/1 cup Mawa
1 cup/ 175 grams boora.
1 tbsp Mawa.
20-25 threads of saffron.
8-10 pistachio.
The ingredients are very less.
To make kesar peda, we will melt the Mawa in the microwave or in a stove.
But here we will do it in microwave as it is easier.
We have kept it in a microwave safe bowl.
Mash the Mawa.
Put it in the microwave for 1 minute.
And add Mawa in the saffron and dip it.
Take out the bowl.
And stir up the Mawa.
If we do it in a stove then we should stir it continuously.
After stirring up the Mawa keep it in the microwave again for 1 minute.
Take out the bowl and stir the Mawa again.
We don’t need to heat the Mawa so much.
Now add the saffron threads to it and mix it.
Now microwave it again for 1 minute.
Take out the bowl and stir and again microwave for 1 minute.
So, that the Mawa dries up.
Our Mawa is ready.
We have all together micro waved for 4 minutes.
Time to time stirred up the Mawa and micro waved
Because in a stove we stir continuously but in a microwave we have to take it out time to time and stir.
This is ready now let it cool.
When it will cool down or will become luke warm then we will add the boora.
Cut the pistachio into small pieces.
The Mawa has now cooled down.
Now add the boora in it.
If we mix it while the Mawa is still hot then it melts together and becomes thin.
Add boora.
We have taken 1 cup boora.
Let’s start making peda’s.
Take 1 tsp in your hands and make it round and press them.
Place 1-2 pieces of pistachio and press again.
If you want to make it look a little yellowish then add some colour to it.
The kesar peda’s are ready.They have come out really nice!
Making kesar peda’s is very simple but we have to remember certain things.
When we mix the boora to the Mawa, make sure it’s not hot, it can be luke warm.
If we add it while it’s hot the Mawa will melt and it will all be very thin and melted.
But if this happens then you can keep it in the fridge and use it next day to make the peda’s.
If the Mawa becomes very hard in the fridge then also it becomes hard to add boora to it. What you can do is add some Mawa and mix it with your hand & make it smooth.
Then make its peda’s.
You can consume it for 8 to 10 days, storing it in the fridge.
Make your Kesar peda, eat it, and enjoy it. And share you experiences with us at Nishamundlika.com
