Instant Kesar Peda is a delicious Indian sweet recipe made with condensed milk, milk powder, milk & saffron etc. The traditional method of making Peda is quite tedious and time taking but with this recipe you can easily make these yummy peda in 15 minutes.
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. It is a kids friendly gluten free sweet recipe.
The two main ingredients of this Instant Peda recipe are condensed milk and milk powder. Adding saffron is a personal choice, however I like its addition in the recipe as it gives a beautiful colour and aroma. I have used chopped pistachios for topping up the pedas. You can even use almonds, cashews or any other nuts of your choice.
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.
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.

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.
