Yellow penda

Yellow penda are flavoured with saffron and cardamon. A lot of people around me mentioned the quick microwave penda method so I had to give this a try. Super quick and easy to make.

Ingredients:

1 cup milk powder

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup milk

A few saffron strands soaked in warm milk

1 tsp ghee

1/4 tsp cardamon powder

Method

Firstly soak some saffron in a little bit of warmed milk for around 20 minutes. Then you want to mix the milk powder, sugar, milk and saffron soaked in milk together in a microwaveable dish. Once fully combined add in the ghee and cardamon powder and mix again.

Cook the mixture in the microwave for 1 minute then mix. Cook the mixture in the microwave for another minute and mix again. The mixture at this stage should now come together as a ball in your hands once it cools. Allow the mixture to cool down slightly so it does not burn your hands.

Grease your hands with a little ghee and form the mixture into balls. Press the balls down with a penda press or your hands.

Garnish these with some chopped nuts and leave these yellow penda to set.
