Malai Peda

Yes, yes, yes. YET another mithai :D Maharashtrian-style this one, though.

Gather:

- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
- 2 tsp cornflour
- 1/4 tsp citric acid
- 1l milk (I used a low fat version; waise bhi weight kam nahi ho raha hai) :|
- 4 satchets saccharin
- 1 tsp chopped pistachios
- Few strands of saffron

1. Firstly, take a heavy bottomed pan & add the milk to it. From this, keep 8 (mind you 8) tsp of milk aside.

2. Then, boil the milk in the pan stirring it continuously, till its quantity reduces to half.

3. Now, heat the saffron & add 4 tsp of the unboiled milk & stir till the saffron dissolves. Then, add this to the boiling milk.

4. After this, add 3 tsp of water to the citric acid & mix well. Now, dheere dheere add this to the boiling milk, till it begins to curdle a bit.

5. Then, add the cornflour to the remaining 4 tsp of unboiled milk & add it to the boiling milk. Stir constantly till the mixture thickens (auntaana, yes!) & begins to resemble khoya.

6. This, followed by adding cardamom powder & mixing well. Guess the mixture should be about done now.

7. Give it whatever shape you want. Balls, too will do. Hey am not judging!

8. Finally, garnish with the pistachios. Malai pedas done!

TipToEat - I prefer my pedas hot, for some reason. Try & let me know if you did, too :)
