Hello friends,

I am Sangeeta Agrawal and heartily welcome you at my blog.

# Peda is that sweet which can be prepared very easily at home in no time.
It needs only mawa, tagar ( mota boora or coarsed sugar ) milk, 2 spoon ghee and elaichi.
Pede are made of two types...One is white and other is of brown.

# The speciality of Mathura pede is that they are made of cow's milk traditionally and of nice dark brown colour.
But it can be made with Buffalo milk too, by adding a little ghee and milk.

Today we are making these famous peda with the Buffalo milk mawa that is easily available in the market.

2. Milk ....100 gram

4. Tagar.....150 gram ( mota boora ) Sugar

# Method Of Making

1. Firstly, crumble the mawa with your hands.

2. Heat a heavy bottomed kadhai on the medium flame with a spoon of ghee.

3. Now add the mawa and roast it by stirring continuously otherwise it can stick or burn.

3. As the mawa becomes dry while roasting...Add again a spoon ghee and roast it till golden brown only.

Remember it that while roasting mawa... Don't let it dry otherwise it can be crumbly.

4. Now add the milk in this mawa and stir it fastly to combine the milk and mawa till the peda dough becomes dry and dark golden brown.

5. Off the flame.

Let it cool till you can touch the peda dough by your hands.

6. Add 100 or 125 gram tagar or mota boora and both elaichi powder in this luke warm mixture of peda.

7. Mix well with your hands.
Take a little portion of mawa and make it round on your palm and just press it by your thumb.
Peda is ready.
Prepare all the peda like this and keep aside.

8. Now spread some tagar in a plate and wrap all the pedas one by one.

This wraping of peda in sugar makes them dry, delicious and tempting.

This is a second speciality of "Mathura Peda".

You can decorate them with some pistachios too.

In this way..Very Famous And Delicious Mathura Pede are ready to enjoy.

These pedas are presented in the temples of Mathura as Prasad Peda and distributed among the devotees.

# Note..

1. Roast the mawa on the medium flame preventing from sticking and burning.

2. Don't over roast it before adding the milk otherwise the mawa will be crumbly and we need a dry but soft dough for peda.

3. Add the sugar in the little warm dough of mawa... so that with the moisture of sugar you can bind the pedas well.
