Method
- 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.
