By Latha on Dec 31st, 2024
Peda recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. Milk powder peda or doodh peda is a very easy sweet recipe. This milk peda is prepared using milk powder, milk, sugar and ghee. Prepare this tasty peda in very less time and enjoy. My son loves pedas, so I keep trying different types of pedas. I had some milk powder in stock, so prepared these pedas for him and he really liked it.
If the peda mixture is slightly under cooked, it will stick to the palm while making the pedas. Keep it on stove top again and stir it for 1 or 2 minutes more. But same time, if the mixture is over cooked it will turn chewy, so keep these points in mind. You can find peda using milk powder and condensed milk and bakery style soft and tasty peda recipes on this website. Do have a look on them as well.
