Notes:
  1. The entire process can be done in microwave too. Stir in very frequent intervals.
  2. You can garnish with coarsely chopped Badam or  Milk masala.
  3. If the final mass is bit dry while making pedas just sprinkle few drops of milk and knead it without any cracks. Do not add more, it will lessen the shelf life.
  4. If you feel it is slightly sticky add 1 tblsp of milk powder and microwave it for a minute or cook it in a pan.
