  • Add milk powder, thoroughly mixing. Cook until mixture begins to form into a paste like mix, pulling away from the pan.  It should be a little moist but come together.  Don’t overcook else peda will become too dry.

  • If using cutters or shapes, pour mixture into a pan.  I used a 9X9 brownie pan and pressed into pan with bottom of a bowl.  If making traditional shapes just turn out mixture onto a piece of parchment paper.
