Unlike Reji, I’m not particularly fond of sweets and desserts. In fact, my kitchen and sweets are like strangers. However, as a food blogger, I now find myself compelled to create these sweet treats. On a personal note, Caramel Custard is my go-to dessert – I love it without getting tired of it, which is why it was the first recipe featured on my blog.
Milk Peda, also known as Dhoodh Peda, is a simple and easy-to-make dessert. Traditionally, it’s made with homemade paneer or khoya, which requires considerable time. Initially, I planned to make it with homemade paneer, but given my time constraints, I had to reconsider. Instead, I opted for a quicker method using condensed milk and milk powder to make Pal Peda or Milk Peda, which can be prepared in just 15 minutes.
I’m particularly excited to make this sweet dish as part of our Diwali celebrations. Milk Peda is a traditional and popular sweet treat that’s often prepared during festive occasions, especially Diwali, the festival of lights. As Diwali approaches, I can imagine many of you busy with preparations, and the women in particular, busy whipping up a storm of delicious Diwali dishes. In fact, I’ve been hearing my colleagues discuss their Diwali plans and preparations for weeks now – it’s a topic of conversation almost every day!
The Milk Peda I made turned out exceptionally well, with a lovely color, a delightful texture, and an intense, rich flavor.

Ingredients for Milk Peda:
Unsalted Butter – 3 tbsp
Dry Milk Powder – 2 cups
Sweetened Condensed Milk – 1 cup
Cardamom – 2
Pistachios – a handful (for garnishing)
How to Make Doodh Peda:
Take a big bowl and add Milk Powder. Slowly add the condensed milk and combine it well to a smooth paste without forming lumps.
Take a saucepan or a non-stick pan and place it on a stove on medium heat. When it is hot enough, add the butter. Let it melt completely. Now add the milk powder and condensed milk mixture. If you are using saffron milk, add it now at this stage and mix it. Stir continuously until it becomes a thick batter and becomes a mass. Turn off the heat as soon as the mixture thickens.
Transfer it to a bowl and set aside to cool for 10-15 minutes or until it is cool enough to handle. The mixture gets thickened and looks little darker in colour when it cools.
Grease you palm with few drops of oil or butter. Take small portion of the cooked dough and make balls and flatten it slightly with your palm. Then dent in the centre with your thumb and tuck the chopped pistachios. Arrange it in a tray. Keep it aside for setting. Refrigerate and use it. The yummy sweet Milk Peda is ready now for serving.
My Recipe Notes on Milk Peda:
1. Mixing of Milk powder and Condensed Milk should be done in quick motions to avoid the mix getting hard.
2. I have added 5 sticks of butter(10 grams each) 1 tbsp of butter is almost 15 grams.
3. You should constantly stir the dough
4. Over cooking of the peda dough could make it dry.
5. No sugar is required here as Condensed Milk and Milk Powder already have sugar.
6. Don’t add extra Condensed milk as it makes the peda dough soggy.
7. This Milk Peda tastes better the next day.
8. I have added a pinch of brown food colour with the last portion of the dough to give a touch of another colour to few of them.
