Ingredients

  

• 1/4 cup cashews approximately 25-30 cashews
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 cardamom pods
• 1/2 cup desiccated coconut or shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup milk powder
• Milk for binding, as needed
• Ghee for greasing, optional
• Silver foil optional, for garnish
• Chopped pistachios or almonds for garnish

Instructions

 

Prepare the Cashew Mixture:

• In a blender, grind 1/4 cup cashews, 1/2 cup sugar, and 2 cardamom pods into a fine powder.
• Transfer this mixture to a large plate.
• Blend 1/2 cup desiccated coconut until fine.
• Add this coconut powder to the cashew mixture.
• Mix in 1/2 cup milk powder until well combined.

Form the Dough:

• Gradually add milk, one spoon at a time, to the mixture. Mix until a smooth, pliable dough forms. Be careful not to add too much milk; the dough should be just moist enough to hold together.
• Place the dough on a greased surface (using ghee or a non-stick rolling mat).
• Roll out the dough to your desired thickness.
• Let it sit for 5 minutes under a fan to firm up slightly.
• Use a sharp cutter or glass to cut the dough into desired shapes (such as rounds or squares).

Garnish:

• Optionally, place silver foil on the pedas.
• Garnish with chopped pistachios, almonds, or rose petals for added elegance.
• Enjoy the pedas immediately or store them in an airtight container.
