Steps to make mango peda
Mango Peda is a sweet Indian delicacy that is perfect to beat the summer heat. The sweet, fruity taste of the mango blends perfectly with the creamy texture of the peda, making it a perfect treat to enjoy during the summer season. Here are the steps to make Mango Peda at home:
Step 1: Begin by peeling and pureeing two ripe mangoes. Ensure that the puree is smooth and free from any lumps.
Step 2: Take a heavy-bottomed pan and add the mango puree to it. Cook it on medium heat until it thickens and most of the moisture evaporates. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
Step 3: Once the mango puree has thickened, add in 1 cup of unsweetened khoya (milk solids) to the pan. Mix well and cook for a few more minutes until the mixture starts to come together and forms a dough-like consistency.
Step 4: Add in 1/2 cup of sugar to the mixture and mix well until it is completely incorporated. Cook on low heat for another 5-10 minutes until the mixture thickens further and starts to leave the sides of the pan.
Step 5: Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool down for a few minutes. Once it is cool enough to handle, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into small balls. Flatten the balls slightly and shape them into discs or pedas.
Step 6: Garnish the pedas with some chopped nuts or dried rose petals and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
And there you go. Now you can enjoy the mango peda with your family and friends.
