- First grate 200 to 205 grams (about 7.05 oz) of homemade or store bought khoya. You will need 1 cup tightly packed grated khoya.Add this to a deep pan or kadai. Use a heavy and thick bottomed pan so that the khoya mixture does not brown or burn at the bottom.
- Add ½ cup sugar (125 grams) and ½ teaspoon cardamom powder.Set the heat to low. Then mix in the khoya with the sugar. Mix even and very well.
- Add 2-3 tbsp of milk. Mix well. You will see the sugar melting and the mixture becomes more of a liquid. Simmer the mixture on low heat while stirring continuously.
- You have to stir non-stop so that the mixture does not get browned or stick to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spatula.Soon the mixture will start to bubble as you stir.
- Continue to stir and cook until the mixture thickens, and starts to pull away from the side of the pan.In the below photo you can see how the mixture has thickened, condensed and leaves the side of the pan. The color will also change.
- Immediately pour the entire molten peda mixture onto a steel plate or tray. It should be thick but still spread a bit. Be sure that you do not overcook the peda before attempting to pour, or the fudge will become chewy.Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- Now take small portions from the lukewarm peda mixture and roll them into small-to-medium balls. They should be about the size of a small to medium lime.
- Enjoy right away or store the milk peda for a few hours at room temperature and then serve later. Refrigerate leftovers in the fridge in an air-tight container for about a week. Peda can be eaten at room temperature or cold.
Peda is a fairly general term that refers to a wide variety of spherical or round, delicious milk-based fudge treats. Typically they are made with a combination of dried milk solids (khoya or mawa), sugar and milk, and any preferred flavoring spices. The mixture is simmered on the stovetop until reduced to a thick consistency, which is then cooled and shaped.
