Rose Peda Recipe | Rose Shaped Peda

By

I am so excited to share this peda which I made it is a simple peda but I gave it a unique shape. I love to play with clay and the peda dough was perfect for me to play with it so made it more interesting by giving this simple peda a unique shape. I had this in mind to make different shaped sweets for so long if you follow my fb page or insta you will be knowing this picture of mine .

This is a sweets spread I made for 2016 diwali and it was loved by everyone so much. From then am loving to make different shaped sweets like store brought. “It doesn’t only look good but taste equally good” – this is what the feedback I got from the people who actually had these. So I am including one more to my collection of sweets today which is red rose peda. I made this keeping in mind of valentines day but never got to post it here. Simple ingredients used very easy to make peda but with a twist. I am happy to share these here. Thanks to  the theme I chose this week emptied 3 of my draft posts, hope  everyone liked it.

I remember making golap pithe for mega marathon and from then I had this idea of making some rose shaped sweets again and here I am with the recipe.

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.
