Instructions
  1. Boil the milk in a deep non-stick pan on a high flame, while stirring twice in between. This will take approx. 4 to 5 minutes.
  2. Reduce the flame to medium and cook for 15 minutes or till the milk reduces to half its quantity, while stirring occasionally and scraping the sides of the pan.
  3. Meanwhile, combine the saffron and warm milk in a small bowl, mix well and keep aside.
  4. Add the sugar and saffron-milk mixture, mix well and cook on a medium flame for another 4 to 5 minutes, while stirring occasionally and scraping the sides of the pan.
  5. Simultaneously, combine the cornflour and the milk in a small bowl and mix well till the cornflour dissolves completely. Keep aside.
  6. Also combine the citric acid and 1 tbsp of water in a small bowl and mix well. Keep aside.
  7. Gradually add the cornflour-milk mixture and citric acid mixture to the boiling milk, mix well and cook on a medium flame for another 4 to 5 minutes or till the mixture resembles mava (khoya), while stirring continuously and scrapping the sides of the pan.
  8. Transfer it to a plate, spread with the help of a flat spatula and keep aside to cool for 30 minutes.
  9. Add the cardamom powder and mix well.
  10. Divide the mixture into 16 equal portions and shape each portion in between your palms into a flat round.
  11. Garnish each peda with pistachio and almond and press it gently.
  12. Serve or store refrigerated till use.
