Servings10 pedas
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk powder
- ½ cup condensed milk
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoon chocolate
- 2 tablespoon ghee
- 2 tablespoon chopped pistachios
Instructions
- To a pan add 1 cup milk powder, ½ cup condensed milk, ¼ cup powdered sugar, ¼ cup milk and 2 tablespoon cocoa powder. This is done off the flame step 1 to step 3.
- Mix well with a whisk.
- Whisk until smooth and there are no lumps.
- Now keep the pan in flame and start stirring. Only now we are switching on the flame.
- When it starts to thicken add 2 tablespoon dark chocolate. I have used dark chocolate you can use milk chocolate too.
- Mix it well and cook in low flame, it will thicken more and start to leave the sides of the pan. At this stage add 1 tablespoon ghee and mix well.
- Now add another 1 tablespoon ghee and mix it well. Do not overcook.
- Gathers to a mass, leaves the sides of the pan. Switch off. The whole process till this step should take around 10-12 minutes. Over cooking may affect the texture of the pedas.
- Transfer the mixture to a plate and cool down.
- When it is still warm grease 1 tablespoon measure with ghee and scoop out. This is to ensure even sized pedas.
- Roll between your palms and flatten it slightly. Make a dent in the center like this. Repeat to finish. I got around 16 small pedas.
- Sprinkle chopped pistachios.
- Chocolate Peda is ready!

Notes
- Cook slowly – I cook the mixture in low flame while stirring often. This helps the mixture thicken evenly without burning.
- Milk - Add fresh milk that is boiled well. Raw milk has the risk of getting spoiled which may affect the sweet completely.
- Check consistency – When the mixture forms thick mass and leaves sides of the pan it is ready. Do not overcook then it may harden and become like a candy.
- Rest the mixture – I allow the mixture to cool for some time before shaping. This makes rolling pedas easier and is less sticky.
- Fix cracks – If the mixture cracks while rolling you can add little milk and mix again. Do not add too much milk.
