Hey there, first I want to wish a happy teej to all my friends. Teej is one of the best festivals in Rajasthan. Women wear leheriya, put Mehendi on their hands. Eat ghevar and of course do a lot of dancing with their friends and family. Basically, Teej is celebrated to welcome the monsoon. We are sharing our peda recipe. Peda is a very popular sweet in India. As teej is approaching we thought of sharing some easy sweet recipes.
This peda is the easiest one to make with three core ingredients. In India, every state has its own kind of sweets. As for me, Mathura ka peda is best, But for many milk, peda is best which we are making today. There are malai peda , kesar peda etc etc. Peda is an all-time favorite whether its Teej or rakhi, Diwali or Holi pedal can be eaten anytime to share your happiness.
When I was a kid my dad used to buy different kinds of peda for me But I always insisted that he buy Mathura ka peda.
Even today whenever I visit India I always Make sure that I should get a box of peda. For me it’s not only a peda box, it’s a box full of emotions and my happy memories.
