HOMEMADE EASY MILK PEDA / दुध पेढा

Milk Pedas are one of the easiest of Indian sweets, especially with THIS recipe. Peda are usually made or bought during festivals like diwali, raksha bandhan, holi and many more. It is offered to God during pooja and then distributed to devotees.When we are sharing any kind of good news (having a baby, passing the board exams) to our friends and family, we usually offer a box of peda as a gift. There are many other occasions when peda is the most used/eaten sweet. 

Peda is the popular and traditional sweet recipe from India. It is usually made from the khoya (mawa). But in this instant method we are using very few ingredients like milk powder, milk, ghee, etc . The traditional flavoring for most Indian sweets is cardamom and I stuck with it. You can use saffron, rose, or kewra too. I've tried the rose and it rocks. Flavoring too is your choice.


This Peda recipe is an instant Indian traditional milk sweet, can easily made within 15 minutes. Few minutes to let cook and then let it cool down to touch and few minutes to shape them. So in total (from start to finish) you will need only 15-20 minutes to make peda. I didn't know preparing pedas will be this easy. Since my husband loves pedas / sweets, I keep trying different types of Indian Sweets at home. When I tried this peda recipe it came out very well. I got this recipe from my facebook group.
