Key Questions Answered
To make healthy pedas for Dussehra, you need 250 grams of khoya (mawa), 3 to 4 tablespoons of jaggery powder, half a teaspoon of cardamom powder, 1 teaspoon of ghee, 2 tablespoons of chopped almonds and pistachios, and a few optional strands of saffron.
First, heat a little ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan, add the khoya, and roast it on a low flame while stirring continuously until it becomes slightly soft and fragrant. Make sure the flame is kept low to prevent the khoya from burning at the bottom.
You should let the cooked khoya cool down for some time before mixing in the jaggery powder. If the khoya is too hot, the jaggery mixture can become thinner than required and alter the proper texture of the pedas.
