Milk Peda Recipe | Doodh Peda Recipe

 An easy and simple indian dessert recipe made with evaporated milk solids and sugar. it is one of the traditional indian sweet made across india and is made for various purposes like the festival and special occasions. the recipe can be made with different types of milk or dairy products, but this recipe post describes the basic peda recipe.

 Indian festival is incomplete without mentioning the traditional sweets and dessert recipes. these sweets are either choice of ladoo’s or milk-based dessert which are generally made by evaporating the milk. one such hugely popular and traditional indian sweet recipe is the milk peda or doodh peda recipe known for its taste and flavour.

I have shared quite a few milk-based dessert and also different types of peda recipes, but this one of the easy, yet time-consuming dessert recipe. the simple part of this recipe is the number of ingredients used in this recipe. basically, it requires only full cream milk and sugar to make these classic desserts. whereas the complex or time-consuming process is the evaporation part to get the milk solids. it took me approximately 1.5 to 2 hours to get the end result. in addition, you need to keep on stirring otherwise it may stick to the bottom and eventually burn. there isn’t any shortcut for this step and you need to follow this till it solidifies.

Tips, Suggestions And Variations :

 Firstly, i would heavily recommend using the full cream milk to get the best result. you may use skim milk but you may end up getting fewer milk solids with the same quantity of milk. you may need to double up the quantity of the milk.

 Secondly, you can add any choice of flavours including the artificial flavours like vanilla, chocolate and even kesar. lastly, do not attempt to increase the flame and it has to be one low to medium flame. if you attempt to evaporate at high flame, you may end up burning the pan.
