Instant Kesar Peda is a delicious Indian dessert recipe that can be whipped in under 15 minutes. The traditional method of making Peda is quite tedious and time taking. With such fast and busy life it is next to impossible to spend so much time in the kitchen. At the same time whenever the festivals are around everyone starts missing home made sweets. This Instant Kesar Peda recipe will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth, impress your guests and save lots of time as well.
The two main ingredients of this Instant Peda recipe are condensed milk and milk powder. Adding saffron to it is a personal choice, however I like its addition in the recipe as it gives a beautiful colour and aroma. Initially I was skeptical about trying this peda recipe as I was doubtful that one may taste the presence of milk powder in it but to my surprise no one could even guess it. I have used chopped Pistachios for topping up the pedas. You can even use almonds, cashews or any other nuts of your choice.
It is a kids friendly recipe as all the ingredients used in it are healthy in nature. It is a gluten free dessert recipe. These days we get to hear so many news where sweets made of synthetic milk, harmful colours and additives are being sold in market. With home-made sweets you can always be sure that whatever you are feeding your family or kids, is pure and healthy. Some other dessert recipes which can be made in short time are shared on the blog- Coconut ladoos, Dates & Nuts Ladoo.

How much is a cup, approximately? My tea cup is smaller than the measuring cups I use for baking.
The cup I have used here is equivalent to 250ml.
