How to make mathura peda

Crumble the mawa first ( it can also be grated ). Turn on the gas and heat a pan. Mawa is now crumble and pan is heated. Roast the mawa now. Roast mawa in mid-flame till it turns dark brown to prepare peda pf mathura. Mawa have turned light brown. But, we will have to roast mawa more till it turns dark brown to prepare peda of mathura.

Make sure that burner is in mid-flame add ghee in mawa at regular intervals to prevent mawa from burning. Keep roasting it by moving it constantly with a ladle. If you think mawa is dry, add 2 tbsp of milk in the mawa. Roast it again till the milk in the mawa. Roast it again till it the milk in it dries up.

Turn off the gas since mawa has turned brown. Mawa has cooled down. Now add you can touch it with your finger. Add powder of cardamom seeds in it and mix it. Add tagar in it and leave a small amount of tagar to wrap pedes in it. Don't let the mawa cool down too much since it will be very difficult to prepare pedes with the cold mawa.

Mix the mixture nicely. Now, we will prepare the pedes take out a small amount of mixture and make a ball of it. Pedes can be of any size depending on your choice press the ball now with your hands to give it the shape of a pedas wrap it in tagar and keep it.
