Ingredients

  • ½ cup condensed milk
  • ¾ cup milk powder
  • 1 and ¼ teaspoon coco powder
  • 1 and ½ tablespoon milk
  • 1 tablespoon sweet choco chips
  • 2 teaspoon melted ghee + 1 teaspoon for greasing
  • 1 and ½ tablespoon chopped pistachios

Instructions

  • In a pan - add condensed milk and milk powder. Mix well with a ladle so that there are no lumps.
  • Now switch on the flame and cook it in low flame.
  • Add ghee and keep cooking. It will become thick in 2-3mins.
  • When it forms a thick mass and leaves the sides of the pan.
  • Get ready with coco powder mixture, add coco powder to milk, mix well to form a smooth paste.
  • Now add the coco paste and keep cooking.
  • Add choco chips and cook until it melts completely and blends evenly.
  • Then grease your fingers first. Now pinch a tiny portion, roll into a tiny balls if forms a ball then stop cooking.
  • Switch off and set aside for at least 20 mins.
  • Now pinch a small lemon sized ball and roll it. Slightly flatten it and make a dent in the center.
  • Add chopped pistachios in the center. It will look gooey but will harden after sometime. Enjoy Chocolate Peda!

Notes

  • Cook slowly – I cook the mixture in low flame while stirring often. This helps the mixture thicken evenly without burning.
  • Cocoa mixture – I usually mix cocoa powder with milk first. This avoid lumps in the peda mixture.
  • Check consistency – When the mixture forms thick mass and leaves sides of the pan it is ready.
  • Rest the mixture – I allow the mixture to cool for some time before shaping. This makes rolling pedas easier.
  • Fix cracks – If the mixture cracks while rolling you can add little milk and mix again. Do not add too much milk.
