Pothgaal Sweets Doodh Peda

Doodh Peda, affectionately known as Peda, is a scrumptious and well-loved Indian confection that occupies a cherished spot in traditional Indian cuisine and festivities. Originating from the rich culinary traditions of North India, Doodh Peda is meticulously crafted using milk solids, sugar, and aromatic ingredients. The outcome is a soft, creamy, and slightly granular sweet that is adored for its sumptuous taste and melt-in-the-mouth texture.

The creation of Doodh Peda entails gently simmering milk over a low flame for an extended duration, gradually transforming it into a thick, condensed form. This milk foundation is then carefully blended with sugar, ghee (clarified butter), and often enriched with cardamom, saffron, or other spices. These additions imbue the confection with a captivating aroma and a profound flavor, enhancing its allure.

Skilled artisans adeptly shape the mixture into small, round discs or oval forms, frequently embellishing them with a sprinkling of chopped nuts such as pistachios, Almonds, or cashews. These nuts not only impart a delightful crunch but also add to the visual appeal of the sweet.
