Ingredients
Plain Yogurt -1 cup ( Thick and Not sour)
Milk pd - 1 cup
Sugar - ¾ cup
Icing Sugar - ¼ cup
Milk - ¼ cup
Butter - 2 tbsp
Kesar- Few Strands
Yellow Food color - Few drops ( optional)
Pistachios - For Garnish ( chopped)
Instructions
In a bowl mix yogurt and milk powder to a lump free mixture.
In a Pan heat butter , after it melts add the yogurt milk pd mixture.
Add sugar, Icing pd and mix them well .
Mix Kesar in warm milk and mix. Pour in this into the yogurt mixture.
In a low flame with constant stirring cook the mixture till it leaves the pan from the sides.
Once it leaves the corners and forms a mass, add food color if needed I added just a drop as kesar gave it a very nice color. Transfer it to a greased plate.
Let it cool down till it is easy to handle. Keep Flipping the mixture with a spoon so that it doesn't dry out from the top.
Pinch a small amount of peda dough and shape them to form a disc.
Use any glass with embossed bottom for the designs or use a peda press.
Do the same for the rest of the peda dough.
Garnish them with pistachios and store them in a air tight container.
I stored mine in room temperature ( 65 F) for 3 days. If you want you can store it fridge as well.
