Ingredients Serving: 6

1/2 cup powdered sugar
4 tsp kund, boora or tagar
1/2 tsp cardamom powder
Few blanched and peeled pistachios

Instructions

Grate or crumble the khoya/mawa into a bowl. Add 1/2 cup regular sugar or castor sugar and keep it aside for 10-15 minutes.
Transfer the sugar and mawa mixture into a heavy bottomed non-stick pan. Roast the mixture over medium to low heat till it turns brown. This process would take around 20 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Immediately add the cardamom powder to give these pedas a distinctive flavor. Also add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar into the mixture while the mixture is nice and hot. Mix it well.
Let it cool and make small balls of this mixture. Press each ball in the center to give it shape.
Coat each peda with kund or boora.
Garnish each peda with coarsely grounded cardamom powder and decorate the platter with rose petals.
