Ingredients:

- 2 cups mawa (400g)

- 1 cup sugar

- 1 tbsp milk

- 1/2 tsp saffron

- 1/2 tsp cardamom

- 1 tsp ghee

- Chopped pistachios for garnish

Method: Soak saffron in warm milk. Heat ghee in a pan, add crumbled mawa and cook on low heat. Add the saffron milk, sugar, and cardamom. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan. Let it cool slightly, shape into balls, and press a pistachio on top!

🥘 2. Dharwad Peda (The Caramel Delight) 🤎

Ingredients:

- 2 cups paneer/chenna (250g)

- 1 cup sugar

- 1/4 cup ghee

- 1/4 cup milk

- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder

- Fine sugar for coating

Method: Roast the paneer/chenna in ghee on medium heat until it turns a deep brown color. Add milk and sugar, cooking until the moisture evaporates. Once cooled, grind the mixture into a fine paste, shape into oblong rounds, and roll them in fine sugar for that signature look!

🥘 3. Mathura Peda (The Traditional Favorite) 🕉️

Ingredients:

- 2 cups khoya (400g)
