Hi Hetal,
I wanted to tell you that I loved your recipe. I always come look for your recipes first. I even tried coconut burfi and its awesome. Decorated with melted chocolate checkered pattern. (I used sweetened shredded coconut partly which I grinder it up to the required texture, didn’t make a difference in taste, followed exact procedure).
I made both the recipes for my 3 yr old girl’s birthday at school as they don’t do cakes as its messy and unhealthy. (Hopefully these are not too unhealthy 😉 ). So coming to the point, I used Non-instant dry milk by organic valley and its awesome. I added less than a tbsp of maida but it didn’t really need it. I rolled and cut it up into shapes. Its super cute, decorated with m&ms and chocolate chips.
It is a bit chewy though. Putting it in the fridge overnight helps a bit.
I mentioned it in this thread because it mentions non-instant milk and hopefully it will help someone like me!!

Thanks!

On a different note, could you please post any unconventional recipe of drumstick…I’m only aware of using it in sambar and no other way. Infact there are many such Indian veggies which most of us can cook only in a certain way. It would be great if you could put your creative spin on those.

Thanks again for your huge contribution to the world of gastronomy. You’re adding so much more than a pinch of spice to my life 🙂

I’m a big fan of yours and have tried many of them and met with success. But peda for me was a definite miss. It tasted a lot like infants’ cerelac or at best like white milk chocolate and had a pasty chewy texture…looking at the enormous amount of positive comment I wonder if I got anything wrong. The smell of milk powder was overwhelming in the final product. I don’t come from a peda making family but have eaten a lot of pedals at the siddhivniayak temple in Mumbai.. These tasted nothing like those 🙁
