Ingredients

  • 1 Litre or 4 cups of Full fat Milk

  • Add the Milk to  a large non stick or ceramic vessel. Bring the milk to a boil with occasional stirring.
  • Reduce the flame and evaporate the milk with occasional stirring. 
  • After 10-15 minutes, the milk will start to thicken. Keep cooking.
  • After 1 hour it will reach a thick creamy paste like consistency. Most of the water from the milk would have evaporated.

Notes

  • Always use a large non stick or heavy bottom ceramic vessel to prevent the milk from burning.
  • Always use full fat milk for a delicious peda. You can also add cream for a rich flavor.
  • Keep stirring occasionally to avoid the milk from burning. This also helps in mixing the cream layer formed on top while cooking. 
  • Also scrape the milk layers from the edges of the vessel and mix with the milk.
  • You can add more or less sugar according to taste.
