Just like Vada Pav, Satari Kandi Pedha also don't need any introduction. Kandi Pedha is a famous sweet from SATARA in western Maharashtra.
Kandi Pedha is a round, smooth textured sweet that comes in cardamom (original flavor) and Kesar flavors.
When I was in school on result day my dad used to bring Kandi Pedha to distribute among the people. And I remember half of the box will be gone before distribution ;)
Ingredients:
2 1/2 Liter whole milk
1 1/2 cup Sugar
1 or 2 Tablespoon Cardamom powder.
Method:
In a kadai/pan, add milk. Add sugar. Let it boil on medium heat. Keep stirring it continuously. After half an hour milk will start becoming thick. Keep stirring in every 1 or 2 minutes.
After another 30 to 45 minutes later milk will become thicker. At this point add cardamom powder, mix well. Stir it for another 5 to 10 minutes. Turn off the heat. Transfer the mixture into a bowl. Let it cool down completely.
Apple ghee (Clarified Butter) on palm. Make small, round shaped Pedha. Keep it on a tray to dry for half an hour.
Kandi Pedha is ready now.
