Step 1

Soak the saffron strands in 2 tbsp warm milk for 10 minutes to release its color and fragrance.

Step 2

In a non-stick pan, heat ghee. Add the milk and condensed milk. Stir well and bring it to a boil on medium heat.

Step 3

Once the milk mixture starts to boil, reduce the heat and gradually add the milk powder and sugar, stir continuously to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes until it thickens.

Step 4

Add the saffron-infused milk. Stir well and cook on low heat until the mixture thickens further and starts to leave the sides of the pan.

Step 5

Mix in the chopped pistachios (reserve some for garnish) and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes a dough-like consistency.

Step 6

Grease your hands with a little ghee, then divide the mixture and shape them into round pedas and flatten them slightly.

Step 7

Garnish each peda with a pistachio on top. Allow them to cool and set before serving.
