Making pedastakes a lot of patience but it is worth the patience ( especially when you make homemade khoa) and work after allyou get to taste this melt in mouthpedawhich is heaven for the soul. I am here with yet another pedatoday, 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 pedaswhite which was the tricky part, though it doesn’t look pure white. This pedaturned so well and was really happy,the QC tester ( my H) also approved with double thumbs up so this has to be posted. Peda ismy favorite Diwalisweet. In my childhood we used to wait for Diwalito get those delicious pedas, I used to admire the shape and the chakra designs on the pedait amazed me as a kid. Sometimes small things bring a lotof happiness, and little things matter a lot to me, hubby took this pedaand 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.
