  • Grease your palms with a little ghee. Divide the warm mixture into equal portions.

Tips

  • No extra sugar has been added in this recipe because sweetened milk powder contributes sufficient sweetness. If using unsweetened milk powder, add sugar to taste.
  • Choose non-fibrous, sweet mangoes for a smooth, creamy peda. Fibrous mangoes can affect texture.
  • When fresh mangoes aren’t available, canned mango pulp works well and gives consistent results.
  • A nonstick pan helps prevent sticking, but any heavy-bottomed pan will work if you stir frequently.
  • Do not overcook the mixture; overcooking can make the pedas hard or chewy. Remove from heat when the dough just comes together and thickens.
  • Use any nuts or dry fruits for garnish according to preference.
  • Storage: Store the pedas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
