Milk peda | Milma peda | Kukskitchen

Happy Diwali folks!!!

Back from another busy and fun-filled day at work, I started to think what can I make for Diwali. Asked my adviser Mr Son, who chose milk peda. I was pleased as I had all the ingredients in my store cupboard to make it, given that it doesn't take much ingredients anyway. 

Milma peda was a childhood favourite of mine. Those days one could get hands on one only from a milma booth. They still do it after all these years and it still tastes the same. Any fellow milma peda lovers in there!!!

With that thought......

A few things before we start:

• Use fat free condensed milk and milk powder for a less guilt pleasure
• Thick bottomed pan helps control the heat keeping the mixture from burning
• I used an ice cube tray to shape my pedas. Use any old mould.
• All the steps can be done in a microwave too.
