Last month we celebrated our wedding anniversary quietly with family. It’s traditional for us to make something sweet on the day. I had left it quite last minute this time so rustled up this sweet dish from whatever ingredients I had in my cupboard and made these pendas with a slight difference.
Ingredients:
1 can (397gms ) carnation caramel condensed milk
400 grams milk powder
3 tbls ghee
100 grams desiccated coconut
200 mls milk
2-3 pinches of saffron
1 tsp ground cardomom
10-12 almonds grated or sliced small to top the pendas
Method:
- Transfer all the ingredients (apart from the almonds) in a large microwave dish.
2. Mix everything all with a spatula and cook in the microwave for 2 minutes and stir. Keep doing this for 12 minutes.
3. Spread the mixture in the bowl and allow it to cool for 2 hours.
4. Once cool, shape the pendas in any shape you like. I used a mould for half the mixture and and make small balls with half. I just flattened the balls with the back of a decorative bowl.
5. These pendas should be stored in an airtight container and will be fine for a week.
