Recipe Notes
- Can use low fat or full fat milk
- Always cook on low flame after the milk has turned thick, else it will stick to the bottom of the pan.
- If the peda mixture has turned thick and you are unable to form peda’s then microwave them for 10 seconds and once the mixture softens shape the milk peda’s.
