HOW TO MAKE OR PREPARE MILK OR DOODH PEDA RECIPE
Heat ghee in a non-stick pan on low flame. Once the ghee melts, add condensed milk and milk powder. Mix well.
Ensure there are no lumps. Mix and keep stirring continuously to avoid sticking of the mixture to the bottom of the pan. Add cardamom powder and mix well again. Once the moisture is fully absorbed by the mixture and becomes dry ball of dough, switch off the flame. Allow the mixture to cool down a bit. Apply some ghee in your hand and knead the dough when it is still little warm.
Take some mixture in your hand and shape into small balls. Then press a bit in the middle of the peda and garnish with chopped pistachios or any other nuts as desired by you.

Take a small mixture and check if you are able to form a ball. This is the right stage to switch off the flame. Otherwise keep cooking till you see a thick mass of the mixture.
