Doodh Peda is a popular milk-based sweet in India, traditionally crafted by simmering milk on low heat for hours to create khova, which is then shaped into pedas. While this traditional method delivers authentic flavor, it can be time-consuming and challenging for many. Fortunately, there’s an easier and quicker way to enjoy this mouthwatering delicacy. By using condensed milk and milk powder, you can prepare these delectable sweets in just 15 minutes. The distinctive light yellow color in pedas comes from the addition of saffron threads, enhancing both the appearance and taste of this delightful treat.
Few Tips to make Doodh Peda
- Saffron Infusion: Soak saffron threads in warm milk for a rich saffron infusion. This adds a beautiful color and aromatic flavor to the pedas.
- Consistency Matters: Pay close attention to the consistency of the mixture. Stir the mixture until it thickens, becomes fluffy, and forms into a ball without sticking to the pan’s sides.
- Flavor Enhancement: Enhance the flavor with cardamom powder. It complements the saffron beautifully and adds an extra layer of aroma.
- Decorate Creatively: Be creative with garnishes. Chopped pistachios or almonds can add a lovely crunch and visual appeal to the pedas.
- Cool Before Shaping: Allow the mixture to cool just enough to handle before shaping into pedas. This makes the process easier and prevents burning your hands.

The same can be done with microwave oven.. Thats even simpler.. All the above ingredients should be mixed, cooked in high heat in microwave for 3-4 minutes stirring the mixture and scrapping the sides of the vessel..
Thanks for sharing Sridevi, I will surely give a try.
Can we use milk maid for condensed milk?
Sure milk maid is condensed milk only. Its just the brand name. You can surely use. Thanks
hi, can i know what is the shelf life of this peda?
Hi Roshini, shelf life of peda is generally 5-7 days.
Hi Subbu,
I am away from home in Manila Philippines, trying your recipes at free times. Kalyana Rasam came out well. As we get only blenders here, i tried to use the measures four times and made a powder that can be used any time.
In the peda, you have put milk powder 4 cups *. I could not find any explanation down below for *- Any suggestion on that.?
Kannan
Hi Kannan, Thanks for your comments and glad that the Kalyana Rasam turned out very well. For Peda, i have updated the * (1 cup = 250 ml).
Hi,
What kind of milk powder do I have to use here
Hi Vanotha, we can find dry milk powder in departmental stores. Indian departmental stores have nestle everyday skimmed milk powder which you can use.
Hi,
Today I tried this peda.. It tastes well.. But got more lumps & it was little hard too… Can u suggest sum remedies for this
Hi Gayathri, we have to keep stirring the milk powder continuously to avoid the lumps also after we got a dough consistency, when we are able to handle the dough with our hand, we can knead well so that lumps are smoothened. The ratio given above makes softer peda, but if you feel it is very hard, you can add some ghee and knead well again.
I tried to knead but it's sticky…
Gayathri, grease palm with ghee and then try to knead then you will not feel greasy.
same here aunty..it was sticky,…
