KESAR PEDA RECIPE
Diwali Preparations is on in full swing. Still, the last minute,our homeis filledwith the aroma of Saffron and melted Ghee with batches of sweets/ mithai & savouries being made. And a whole one week of school break with two lovely kiddos who are constantly battling and arguing for the silliest reasons. And finally a handover of the rental property that needed cleaning to pristine – new conditions on the card, this Diwali preparation has been eventful.
Our only motive this festive season is to clear as many carton boxes as we could and make the house our HOME. Light the festive lamps, and spread joy and happiness, carrying forward the tradition of this delightful festival. Customarily, we enlighten the importance and tradition of the festival to our children, so that they do not let it go in years to come. They are so much looking forward to the morning tomorrow and have a festive weekend.
Talking of the Mithai preparation for this celebration, I made some instant Kesar Peda with milk powder / Kesar peda with condensed milk for the second time this week and a course of Maaladu.
Kesar Peda’s also known as Saffron infused Milk Fudge, is really instantaneous and easy to prepare dessert in less than 30 minutes. Do follow the steps carefully to give it a perfect texture and taste.

This glorious Instant Kesar Peda { Indian Dessert } takes only 20 minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Milk Powder + 2 Tsp
- 1 Cup Condensed Milk
- 1/2 Tsp Green cardamom
- 2 Tsp of Ghee
- A good fat pinch of KesarSaffron dissolved in 2 Tsp of Warm Milk
Instructions
Heat Ghee in a wide Pan. Add Condensed Milk and Milk Powder to it and constantly stir in medium flame. Remember to break the lumps, as you stir otherwise the peda might not have the desired smooth finish. In about 8-10 minutes the mixture will come together. At this stage, add the Saffron infused milk and cardamom powder. The mixture will loosen again, but with another few minutes on the flame, the mixture will come together with constant stirring.
Check if they are sticky on the top by pinching a small ball. If they are, stir for another 2 minutes until the mixture is not sticky.
Once they do not stick, remove the pan of the flame. Turn down the mixture to a greased plate and allow it to cool down a bit.
Grease your palm with ghee, pinch a small portion from the mixture and roll it into Peda shape and give a little indendation in the middle with your thumb. Garnish with silvered almonds, pistachio and saffron. When I made it for the second time, I did not have a mould either, its just a diy press that I have used to get the shape in the middle.
