    • Thanks Maha for letting me know, updated the butter quantity. You need 1 Cup of milk powder for making both condensed milk and peda…If using store bought condensed milk then 1/2cup of milk powder n 1/2 cup of store bought condensed milk is needed here you no need sugar, milk n butter. Hope this clears ur doubt.
