    About Kesar Peda Recipe

    Peda, also known as Pera, is a sweet dish from the Indian subcontinent. Its origins can be traced back to Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, India. It is typically prepared in thick, semi-soft layers with khoa, sugar, and traditional flavourings such as cardamom seeds, pistachio nuts, and saffron.

    Saffron is a spice made from the flower of the Crocus sativus plant, also known as the saffron crocus.The vivid crimson stigma and styles, known as threads, are collected and dried for use in food, primarily as a seasoning and colouring agent.

    Ingredients for Kesar Peda Recipe 

    Milk Powder

    Powdered milk is given so much time to settle, the milk tastes much better and is virtually indistinguishable from fresh milk. As well, the crystals are extremely fine, allowing them to dissolve more completely.

    Ghee 

    Ghee tends to be one of those hyperbole-inducing foods, like macarons and gelato, that people describe quite dramatically as being heavenly or the best thing ever. In actuality, ghee tastes like a cleaner, richer, more decadent version of butter itself.

    Saffron 

    Saffron is a potent spice that is high in antioxidants. It has been linked to a variety of health benefits, including increased mood, libido, and sexual function, as well as reduced PMS symptoms and weight loss. Best of all, it is generally safe for most people and simple to incorporate into your diet.
