Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat ghee in a non-stick pan over low-medium heat.
- Add the crumbled mawa and sauté it continuously. Cook until the mawa softens and starts leaving the sides of the pan.
- Once the mawa is well-cooked and fragrant, turn off the heat and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Let it cool down slightly (so the sugar doesn’t melt).
- Add powdered sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron. Mix everything thoroughly until a smooth dough forms.
- Grease your palms with a little ghee. Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into smooth balls.
- Gently press the center of each ball to flatten it slightly into a peda shape.
- Optional: Garnish with a sliver of almond or pistachio on top.
Your instant and delicious Mawa Pedas are ready! These are perfect for Rakshabandhan, Diwali, or any special occasion. Store them in an airtight container for a week. Happy cooking!
