traditional flavorings, including cardamom seeds, dried nuts. Some also add kesar to enhance the flavor and color.

consuming. And in today’s lifestyle we generally opt for things which can be
made instantly. So for those busy people, I am sharing an instant milk
peda recipe.

rubbery when hot. Allow it to cool completely and then it would give you the
desired taste.
