Moongdal & Dry Fruit Sheera

½ kg Soft white khoya or mava
2-1/2 cups (approx.300gms) sugar powdered
½ tsp cardamom powder
1 tsp cardamom seeds semi crushed
1 tbsp slivered or crushed pistachios

How to make Peda
Grate Khoya with a steel (not iron) grater. Add powdered sugar and mix well. Put mixture in a large heavy or nonstick pan. Heat first on high for few minutes. Ten on slow till done. Make sure to stir continuously, while on heat. When the mixture is thick and gooey, add cardamom. Mix well, and take it off the fire. Allow to cool, gently turning occasionally. Use cookies moulds, or shape pedas with palms into patty rounds. Mix pistachios and cardamom seeds and press a bit on top of each. If using moulds, first sprinkle some at the bottom. Take some mixture and press in into the mould. When set well, invert and carefully unmould. The pedas are now ready to be served.
