Malai Peda is a popular variety among the various types of pedas famous throughout the Indian subcontinent. Peda is generally prepared in thick semi soft pieces using khoa, sugar, saffrons etc. Curdling condensed milk turns it into richly textured khoa, which when flavoured with cardamom and saffron becomes an aromatic dessert that’s irresistible. The amazing texture and succulent mouth-feel make it popular among kids too.
