How to make Peda (Mathura)

Crumble the khoya into a heavy-bottomed kadai and break up any lumps with your fingers.
Add the ghee and cook on low heat, stirring continuously, for about 5 minutes until the khoya softens and turns slightly golden.
Add the sugar and stir well, then continue cooking on low heat for 10 to 12 minutes until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan.
Add the cardamom powder and mix well.
Switch off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly until it is comfortable to handle.
Knead the mixture gently into a smooth dough, adding a little of the milk only if it feels too dry.
Divide the dough into small equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Flatten each ball slightly between your palms to shape the pedas and press a light design on top if you like.
Let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
