Diwali, Sweets

Jump To Recipe Print Tips
Milk Peda is one of the popular Indian sweets which is usually made on the special occasions and festivals like Rakshabandhan, Diwali, etc. Traditionally, pedas are made from milk and sugar but that is very time consuming. But this is the instant version of milk peda which uses milk powder along with milk, and sugar and takes only 15-20 minutes. I have also added cardamom powder and kesar as well to enhance the flavor. Follow the below given recipe with tips to make the pedas at home.

Easy to follow the recipe. I ran out of sugar but that's ok as I don't like it overly sweet. Quick and easy dessert - thanks!
