Microwave Condensed Milk Doodh Pedha

Microwave Pedha
Friday calls for something special. And a special menu comes with a dessert. Today's mithai is a microwave recipe of Milk Fudge made of condensed milk and milk powder. This Doodh Pedha is instant with a cooking time of just 5 minutes.

Ingredients:
Sweetened Condensed Milk - 396 gm/14 oz
Milk Powder - 1 1/2 cups
Unsalted Butter - 4 tbsp
Green Cardamom/Elaichi - 2 pods
Saffron/Kesar - few strands (optional)
Charoli/Chironji or any nuts

How to cook Dudh Peda in a microwave:
  • Add butter to a dry microwave safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute so that the butter melts.
  • To the melted butter, add milk powder and condensed milk. Mix well with a spoon. Microwave for 3 minutes and mix after every minute.
  • Now add ground cardamom and/or saffron and mix again. Microwave again for 1 minute and let the peda mix cool.
  • The cooking time in a microwave may vary. So keep checking and do not let the pedha mix turn too dry.
  • When it turns cold enough to handle, grease your hands with butter or ghee. Divide the pedha mix into 25 parts and roll each one between your palms to a smooth round ball. Flatten the pedhas slightly. Garnish with whole or chopped nuts of your choice and Dudh Pedha is ready to devour. 
  • Use cupcake liners for serving. Keep the Pedhas refrigerated. As Pedas turn hard after refrigeration, remove them from the refrigerator one hour before serving.

You can add powdered nuts while cooking as well. I have used Charoli nuts for garnish which is called Chironji in Hindi, but I have no idea of its English name. You can cook this pedha in a pan on a stove top as well. But make sure you cook the pedha mix at low flame.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Surti Val Papdi Bhaji

My Mom used to make Val Papdi Bhaji in a simple way with few ingredients. This is the first time I gave it a try here in my US kitchen. This stir fry does require little more oil, as no water is added for cooking. Dal Rice tastes great with this sauteed Papdi.  I tried this Bhaji once with frozen Surti Papdi and I was not happy with the result. I prefer fresh Papdi for this recipe, which I can only find in the local Indian store. I am not sure if Val Papdi is called as Navy Bean or Fava Bean in English.
