ABOUT Kesar Malai Modak Pedha RECIPE

Pedha is an Indian sweet made up of milk solid / evaporated milk / khoya, sugar, cardamom powder and saffron. To make malai pedha I'm using ricotta cheese which will give creamy texture to pedha and using condensed milk to sweeten it.

250 Gms or 1 Tub Ricotta Cheese
350 Gms Condensed Milk Tin (I used half tin for the recipe)
1/4 Cup Saffron infused warm milk

In a non-stick pan add ricotta cheese and keep stirring continuously.

In a while you will see that the mixture is thickening up.
