Method 

👉In a kadai heat 1 Tbsp ghee keep in medium flame , add grated  or crumbled unsweetened khoya , condensed milk, saffron soaked milk , cardamom powder, a pinch of salt and mix everything until well combined without any lumps. The mixture will become gooey and then thicken.

👉Continue to keep stirring in medium flame until the mixture thickens and forms a non sticky mass. (It takes about 5-7 mins ).

👉Transfer to a mixing bowl and allow it to cool down a bit until you can handle it.

👉Now grease your palms with ghee and take lemon sized ball of the mixture and gently flatten it a bit and press it with peda stamp. If you don’t have a peda stamp simply make a small pit in the centre and shape the pedas.

👉You can garnish with finely chopped pista and few saffron strings.
