Malai Peda | Indian Sweets Recipe

By

Making pedas takes a lot of patience but it is worth the patience ( especially when you make homemade khoa) and work after all you get to taste this melt in mouth peda which is heaven for the soul. I am here with yet another peda today, it is my version of malai peda. After I got to experiment a lot of peda’s , I came up with these white beauties, the challenge was keeping the pedas white which was the tricky part, though it doesn’t look pure white.  This peda turned so well and was really happy, the QC tester ( my H) also approved with double thumbs up so this has to be posted. Peda is my favorite Diwali sweet. In my childhood we used to wait for Diwali to get those delicious pedas, I used to admire the shape and the chakra designs on the peda it amazed me as a kid. Sometimes small things bring a lot of happiness, and little things matter a lot to me, hubby took this peda and the mango peda to the office and all his friends just enjoyed and showered me with compliments, glad to have such friends around who appreciate all the little things I do. I love making sweets a lot though I don’t have a sweet tooth, I am a spicy food lover. Moving on to the recipe now.

    Yummy and addictive. I remember making this pedas when I was a child. We use to use our small bangles to shape them, so much fun.

    These Malai peda look like they will just melt in the mouth. I have never made peda with paneer and these sound sooo rich and decadent.
