How to Make Instant Kaju Peda

• Soak saffron in 1 tsp of hot milk.
• Powder the cashew nuts ( may use splits or broken nuts to reduce the cost) and mix with milk powder, icing sugar and cardamom powder.
• Crush the soaked saffron and add to the above mixture.
• Add milk little by little to form a firm paste, the consistency of poori dough.
• (Avoid adding excess milk which will make the paste sticky.
• If at all the mistake happens, add some milk powder and icing sugar to rectify.)
• Take small lumps of the paste and shape into pedas.
• Garnish with thinly sliced pistachio.
• May be stored in refrigerator up to three days.
