Orange ke pede

 Ingredients

2 large Oranges

2 cup full-cream milk

2 cup milk powder

¾ cup sugar

¼ teaspoon cardamom powder

Few strands of saffron

1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)

Method

Grate the Orange  rind and boil it in a microwave or stove for 2-3 minutes.

Drain the water.

Make sugar syrup by boiling the sugar in a little water.

Add the orange rind  in the sugar syrup for 5 minutes and keep it aside.

Cut the orange (the fruit) into slices. Take the pulp out of it and separate its fibers.

Mix the milk powder in the milk and boil it in a nonstick Kadhai/Wok.

Add the boiled orange rind pieces along with the sugar syrup in it and cook on a slow flame.  Keep stirring it.

Add saffron to it.

In about 20 minutes the mixture will reduce in volume and turn into a soft dough.

Now add the orange pulp to it. Orange pulp will release water and dilute the dough.

Cook it again for about 20 minutes on a slow flame till the whole mixture becomes soft dough.

Now add ghee to it and again cook it for 5 minutes. Keep stirring it.

Add cardamom powder to this mixture and mix it well.

Cool it at room temperature

Now refrigerate it for about half an hour.

Take it out of the refrigerator.

Make small balls out of this dough and press them with your palms to give it a circular shape.

Serve it cold.
