Steps

1

Soak the saffron strand in warm milk. Set aside.
2

Heat the frying pan on low heat, I like to use heavy bottom nonstick pan.
Add cream and milk powder, Mix it well.Mix till start getting soft consistency of thick batter as it gets warm.
3

Cook mixture on low medium heat stirring continuously until mixture becomes lumpy like soft dough. This should take about 12-15 minutes.
4

Add saffron and cardamom mix it well and cook for 2-3 more minutes until it is consistency of soft dough. Turn off the heat. Now the khoya is ready.
5

Transfer the khoya into a bowl and let it cool off until khoya becomes lukewarm.Add the sugar into the khoya and knead it for about a minute until everything blends together and become soft dough
6

If you mix the sugar while khoya is hot that will make khoya soft and will not able to make peda
7

Divide the mix into equal parts or more, less depends the size you prefer. Make them into ball rolling between your palms. Make a dent into the peda.
8

Garnish them with almonds. Enjoy these flavorful kesar almond peda😊
