Kesar Peda

 

There must be scarcely anyone who doesnt like Pedas and Barfis. You dont need to be sweet toothed for that. When it comes to Pedas, people ranging from kids to old, love this chewy milky fudgy Indian sweet. To make your cravings even more stronger, this recipe is totally different from the traditional Pedas in terms of labour intensive procedures involved in its preparation. For not so chewy textures, if you are patient enough, you can wait for next day, to get bit more powdery kind of Peda... Not making you long more, over to the recipe.
