Microwave Doodh Peda

This is one of the easiest desserts that you can make. And believe me, it cannot go wrong in terms of taste!

Ingredients:

2/3 cup milk powder
1/4 cup butter
1 tin condensed milk
cardamom powder
pistachios/slivered almonds for garnish
A few saffron strands(optional)

Method:

In a microwave safe bowl, melt the butter for 30 seconds. Add the milk powder and condensed milk and mix well. Microwave uncovered for 2 mins. Stir well, microwave again for another 2 mins. Stir once more, microwave in 1 min interval until you see the mixture thicken. It should have a crumbled texture but not browned at the bottom. Add the cardamom powder and allow the mixture to cool for atleast 30 mins. Make small balls, flatten it with the palm of your hand. Decorate using a fork/toothpick. Garnish with chopped pistachios.

Note: The above time is based on a 900W power. Mine took about 6 mins(2+2+1+1 min intervals). Use a deep microwaveable bowl so it doesnt overflow. After 4 mins, check every minute to make sure it doesnt burn. I used a flower shaped cookie cutter to get this pattern. I bought the mawa/milk powder from the indian store. But you can try the Carnation whole milk powder which is just as good.
