Default Saffron Peda – a sweet which is less sweet & attractive.

Unsweetened khoa - 200 gms

Powdered sugar - 3 tbsp

Saffron - a pich, warmed & powdered

Cardamam powder - ¼ tsp

In a non-stick kadai, mix grated khoa & powdered sugar.

Heat on a very low flame, for 15-20 mts till it forms a ball.

Keep the kadai, preferably over an old tava on the flame.

Cook till a portion taken in hand & cooled, can be rolled firm.

Remove & add spices.

Cool & shape into pedas.

Decorates with sliced pistas.

Cut with the tip of a sharp knife to form lines to look decorative.

The same can be prepared using, sugar substitute instead of sugar. 2 tbsp of the substitute should be enough.
