Indian Milky Fudge Peda
Peda or Penda (how we Gujarati say ) is a most loved and admired Indian sweet that you can find in India and with Indians all over the world.
Indian milky fudge is known as Penda in Gujarat, in North Indian known as Pede or Pera and Pedha in Karnataka, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh.
A box full of Peda contains not only just the sweet but it’s a box of emotions, happiness and success.
Peda is the all-time favourite sweet or Indian Mithai to share your happiness or good news with others.
A baby boy born in your family, bought a car or got promotions at work, people are going to ask you ‘ To Pachi Peda Kyare Khavro cho’? meaning when are you going to feed us Peda?
My mum tasted these Rajkot Na Peda, after my parent’s wedding. They visited Rajkot to meet some relatives and when they left their house she was given a gift and a box full of Rajkot Na Peda.
These sumptuous looking milky fudge can be done in a few ticks, and do not require many ingredients.
Rajkot Na Peda, mainly made with milk and can be flavoured with cardamom and saffron, but authentic Rajkot Na Peda are kept plain and white.
