peda recipe | instant kesar peda recipe | kesar milk peda with milkmaid with step by step photo and video recipe. there are several flavours and varieties to peda recipe which totally depends upon ingredients added to it. moreover it is believed that, peda, pedha, penda, pera have originated from mathura which has its own unique characteristics, colour and taste. perhaps this recipe may have similar attributes to mathura peda or mawa peda, but certainly much more easier and hassle free.

i have already shared the milk peda or doodh peda recipe, but i was getting several requests for instant kesar milk peda with milkmaid. both the recipes are very similar, but i have introduced subtle differences which makes unique to both the recipes. the main difference i have introduced is kesar milk in this recipe. kesar introduces totally different flavour and taste to kesar peda recipe. the other main difference is the dry fruits used to top peda or palkova. i have pista in this and chopped badam in the milk peda recipe.

furthermore, some vital tips and suggestions for a perfect kesar milk peda recipe. firstly, i have used condensed milk or milkmaid which already have sugar content in it. alternatively, use store bought evaporated milk to control the sugar or sweet level. secondly, always grease your hand with ghee before shaping peda. ghee would help to bring nice texture to kesar peda recipe. lastly, start shaping the peda when the milk solid is still warm. otherwise, once it is cooled down it would be difficult to shape them.
