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.
Rajkot Na Peda, mainly made with milk, can be flavoured with cardamom and saffron, but authentic Rajkot Na Peda are kept plain and white.

Rajkot Na Peda
Ingredients
- 3 cup full-fat milk powder approximately 375g
- 1 cup sugar 200g
- ½ cup whole milk 125ml
Garnishing
- 1 tablespoon pistachio slivers
- Few strands of saffron
- Dried rose petals
Instructions
- Dry roast the milk powder on a very low heat in a heavy bottomed pan until aromatic. It will only take 1 minute. Do not allow the colour to change, we want to keep the peda white.
- Into the pan, add in sugar and milk.
- Beat with a balloon whisk and make a smooth mixture.
- Turn on the heat, and start cooking the mixture.
- Keep stirring constantly, and keep the heat on a low to medium.
- After around 10-15 minutes the mixture will start thickening and leaves the edges of the pan and becomes one mass.
- Remove the mixture on to another plate and leave the mixture to cool completely.
- Rub some ghee on your palm and knead the peda mixture on the clean worktop.
- Make a big round ball, and roll out with a rolling pin, keep ½″.
- Cut into round shape with a cookie cutter.
- OR divide the peda mixture into equal size of balls and flatten them slightly and make peda.
- Garnish it with pistachio slivers, saffron threads and dried rose petals.
