Searching of the dessert for the Independence day party here you go Tri colored Milk peda recipe. A well known Indian sweet prepared during festive season. Milk peda also called doodh peda is typically created using mawa and flavored with cardamoms and nuts. Within this recipe I've prepared mawa using ricotta cheese. Ricotta cheese is cooked until all of the liquid dries up and all sorts of that's left is really a ball of thick cheese a.k.a. Mawa/Khoya.
Follow this straightforward Milk Peda Recipe where ricotta cheese switched mawa is coupled with milk powder, sugar and it is flavored with cardamom and saffron to create this soft pedas. Since my theme was Independence day I selected to paint my pedas using saffron combined with warm milk and orange color. Same manner for that eco-friendly color I flavored the pedas with pista paste and eco-friendly color. These pedas will always be a success in a supper party and can melt off inside your mouth.
Before adding milk powder and sugar to mawa (prepared with ricotta cheese) make certain it's totally cold otherwise the mix can get runny and hard to deal with. While kneading the peda dough whether it stays with your hands apply some ghee and knead the dough. This can be a very modifying recipe. If in situation you have to increase the milk powder, you can achieve this and adjust the sugar level.

Would you use regular granulated sugar or icing sugar?
If while using former, will it merge without making the pedas crunchy?
I've made these previously by mixing and cooking the ricotta, milk powder and sugar.
Your recipe seems a lot simpler. I must check it out soon.
Also, can one substitute the milk powder with khoya powder in the Indian store?
Waiting for an answer of your stuff soon.
Happy Year!
Thank you for visiting Rajvarna!!
1. I have tried personally granulated sugar.
2. Knead the peda dough well. Sugar will merge.
3. You actually can substitute milk powder with khoya powder. Since khoya powder is extremely fine so to begin with add 2 glasses of khoya powder.
Hope that solutions your query. Happy Year for you too.
