MAKHAN PEDA


This is an awesome sweet from the Indian Culinary.Most of you will be very much familiar

with the sweet Gulab jamun .This too has the same taste,but this has nuts when you bite

into it.In the normal process of making,only white sugar is used,and the color will be

different.This time i made it with brown sugar,and the taste was so good that my

household thought i bought it from the sweet shop.That too is a compliment ….Anyway

let’s get into the recipe.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup plain flour(maida)

100 gms khova/mawa (unsweetened)

1/4 cup curd/yoghurt

2 tblsp.ghee

a pinch of salt

1/2 tsp.soda bicarbonate

oil for frying

FOR THE SYRUP

2-2.5 cups brown sugar

2.5-3 cups water.

FOR THE FILLING

Few mixed nuts(pistachios,cashewnuts,melon seeds or any of your choice)

METHOD

Add the yoghurt and the soda into a wide bowl ,and beat these two ingredients well for 5

minutes.Next add the khova and beat for another 10 minutes.Add the rest of the

ingredients and bind to a soft dough,and set aside, till you prepare the syrup.

Put the sugar and water and boil till sugar melts.Heat oil in a deep frying pan.

Divide the dough into sizes  you like.Flatten each portion in your palm .fill a  little portion

of mixed nuts,seal and make balls.Deep fry till golden brown in medium heat.If the oil gets

heated,reduce the flame to simmering mode or switch off,and resume,otherwise the

centre will not be cooked.Drop the fried pedhas into the syrup,and soak for  minimum  2

hours.
