Add cardamom powder and mix well to incorporate.

Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Grease your hands with ghee and take small portions of the mixture.

Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a disc shape.

Allow the pedas to cool completely and set before serving.
