Peda’s are Indian Milk fudge which is traditionally made out of Khoya or Paneer or Evaporated milk. Here I have given a twist to the traditional peda by making them with Yogurt or our Indian Dahi. This peda tastes so delicious and have a very easy to follow instruction. I used store bought plain yogurt which we get here. The continuous stirring needs some patience and caution while making them. I spent whole day thinking about what I should make for the letter Y as my initial plan needed some detailing and planning ahead which I couldn’t do because of some personal work.I made this peda the same day I made the Milk cream, the three treats were perfect for the sweet tooth in my home.
I am so excited to share my experiment I did in my kitchen recently , when it comes to sweets I try to think beyond anything available in the internet and post a original recipe. This is one such originals of my blog, Have you ever heard of a peda with dahi at least I haven’t heard or seen any and this thought of making yogurt peda came to me when I was thinking what to cook for my letter Y.I thought I should do something with Yogurt for my sweets theme so this idea of making peda popped up , I confidently executed the idea though there were eyes rolling in my home hearing am going to make dahi peda 😛 . This tasted simply delicious as like any other peda would do. I made a kesar flavored dahi peda this time.My mom makes perfect dahi at home which sets so well it will beat the store bought dahi, She can make perfect dahi with any stater , even a starter ( ora moru or Javan) which is watery and was not well set .I make dahi at home occasionally, this recipe reminded me that I should start making dahi at home often. I love perfecting a recipe by making them multiple times like I religiously make ghevar every year so that I can improve every time and practice at least once in a year, As am a person who if not practiced will sure leave touch and would have to start learning from the beginning. I do the same for my rest of the recipe too whenever I get a chance I do try it again and perfect the recipe. As you know lately I am having this peda madness and You can see the madness in the title already :D.. I have another amazing peda coming soon when I execute it.
