माइक्रोवेव पेढा (Microwave Pedha)

Microwave Pedha:
Ingredients:
1 can (14 Oz / 396 gms) Sweet Condensed Milk
2 cups Dry Milk Powder
1 stick (113 gms) Unsalted butter
1 tspn Elaichi powder
Saffron / Yellow color (optional)
Almonds for decoration (optional)
Method:
For making this, it is preferrable to use a glass microwave bowl with a little depth.This is because the mixture will keep bubbling and a little depth will prevent it from spilling out
Heat the stick of butter in the microwave safe bowl till it melts. Keep an eye. Don’t allow it to boil. Now remove the bowl from the microwave and add the condensed milk, milk powder , yellow color and elaichi powder if present .Stir well to mix it up.
Place the bowl in the microwave and heat for 3 minutes. During these 3 minutes , take the mixture out of the microwave and stir it thoroughly after each minute
After 3 minutes place the mixture in the microwave and heat for smaller durations like 30 secs. This is because the mixture will now start bubbling and you will have to switch off the heat and remove and stir it every 30 seconds. Do this for about 2-3 minutes.
The mixture after this would have considerably thickened. Let the mixture cool down for 15 mins and then make small peda shaped balls.
You can add an almond or pistachio in the center of every peda.
