    Doodh Peda Recipe

    This is real milk peda made using real milk. Super delicious and super rich. I have made instant peda before, but never tried a real peda which is made using milk. I wanted to make that for this diwali because there is nothing compared to this version.

    It is so rich and so yummy, you can never stop with one. But the only thing is the amount of time it takes to make. But at the end it is so worth it.

    Doodh peda is a rich dessert made using milk or milk products. Little bite size morsel of heaven.

     

    How to Make Doodh Peda Recipe (Milk Peda Recipe)

    1)Traditional Method:

    The traditional method of making milk peda requires lots of time and patience. You need to keep simmering milk in a large pot till it is reduced. Then add lots of sugar and keep cooking till it forms into a dough like. Small portions are pinched from it and shaped into peda like. In my opinion that is the most loved recipe from my blog. Here is the recipe for making traditional milk peda.

    2)Milk Peda using Sweetened Condensed Milk (Malai Peda):

    This is one of the easiest way of making milk peda, It calls for sweetened condensed milk as the main ingredient. Condensed milk is cooked together with little lemon juice and milk powder till it thickens. Then the mixture is shaped into small pedas.

    3)Milk Peda made using Milk Powder:

    This method is also an instant version of making milk peda. It is made using milk powder. I have added saffron to add nice fragrance in the peda. It hardly takes less than 10 mins to make.
