KESAR-BADAM PEDHA

You can make this most relish sweet and present it to your friends and relatives during festive days or any occasion. They will love it for sure! This is my wish from last Ganapati Festival to post this recipe as it is my favourite. The process of making Almonds-Saffron Mawa Pedha which is very simple that you can prepare it on festivals when you are busy with other preparations. You can make this for Diwali or even the coming Karwa-Chauth. It is one of my favourite sweet because it is not very sweet in taste but just mildly sweet and the aroma of saffron is just wonderful, made with few ingredients, less sugar and no ghee used in this sweet for people whom doesn’t like to eat very sugar loaded sweets. So definitely try out making this Almonds-Saffron flavoured Mawa Pedha with this step-by-step pictures recipe.  

INGREDIENTS:
200 gms  or 1 ½ Cup Mawa / Khoya
1/3 Cup Powdered Sugar
20-25 Almonds [coarsely powdered]
10-15 Strands of Saffron [soaked in 1 tablespoon warm milk]
¼ teaspoon Cardamom Powder

METHOD:
STEP 1 – Grate the mawa and roast it in a pan on low flame.
STEP 2 – Keep stirring continuously, otherwise mawa get burnt/ stuck to the bottom of the pan.
STEP 3 – Add Almonds powder and saffron in the mawa and mix it.
STEP 4 – Cook further because we added saffron milk which needs to get mix completely with mawa.
STEP 5 – After 3-4 minutes mawa get thickened and you will get a thick dough.
STEP 6 – Now remove it in a plate and spread it to cool down.
STEP 7 – When the mawa is little warm, add powder sugar and cardamom powder. Combine it with mawa and make a smooth and soft dough.
STEP 8 – Now grease your palms with ghee. Take a small portion from mawa mixture and roll it gently in between your hands. Try to give it round shape. Then press a little and make it flat. Now make an impression with a finger in the centre and garnish it with some chopped almonds.

STEP 9 – Likewise make the pedhas with the rest of the mawa mixture and serve.
