To make Pede, add milk ghee and evaporated milk and mix well. Switch on the flame on low, once ghee melts,boil milk and ghee mixture for 1-2 minutes. If you are not using full fat milk not evaporated milk, boil it for 4-5 minutes, then add add milk powder and cardamom powder to the milk.This mixture is just like the mawa that we use for making pedas and other sweets.
Start cooking the mixture, till it starts turning light brown.
Meanwhile in a pan add sugar and 2-3 tbsp of water. Make sugar syrup of 1 thread consistency.
Keep on stirring so that mawa doesn't burn.
Add sugar solution of one thread consistency and mix it well. When you are comfortable to touch the khoya mixture, make small tennis ball or lemon sized pedas. Flatten a bit by hand.
Roll in castor sugar and garnish with elaichi or cardamom seeds.
