Dood Peda






Dood peda is the most easiest and tastiest sweet I know... I love pedas and tried them out for this diwali. They turned out really well... The spirit that goes into making these sweets during the festive season is wonderful...

Ingredients 
Khowa - 2 cups(I brought them from the store)
Sugar - 1 cup
Butter - 1/4 cup
Milk - 1/4 cup
Sliced almonds - To garnish
Elachi powder - 1tsp

Preparation Method
Heat  butter in a pan and add milk to this.
Grate the khowa and add this after the butter and milk get mixed well.
Add the elachi powder and keep stirring until the mixture absorbs all the milk and becomes dry.
Add sugar and keep stirring for about 5 mins until the whole dough comes together. 
If you keep it in the heat for more time the sugar would solidify and the pedas would turn out hard.
Now cool this mixture and make them into small balls. Flatten them and draw lines with a knife(if you wish) and garnish them with almonds. Refrigerate them to stay fresh.
If you are not able to make balls with the peda mixture you can microwave it for another 2-3 mins. Allow it to cool . You should be able to make the pedas now...
