Milk peda / Doodh peda / Milk fudge

-
Diwali, the festival of lights is the most loved festival in India. Wherever we go outside, we can see buildings and houses decorated with lights, candles, and divas. All the streets, marketplaces, and local shops are flooded with a variety of  crackers, gift boxes, and divas. People exchange gifts and burst crackers on this day. But for me, it is a festival of sweets with gift boxes packed with sweets, chocolates, and dry fruits.

  1. Full cream milk powder - 2 cups
  2. Condensed milk - 1 tin (approximately 400 g)
  3. Butter(unsalted) - 100g
  4. Milk - 2 tbsp

  4. Keep on stirring the mixture under low flame until the butter gets combined with the milk powder well.
  5. When this mixture gets incorporated, pour the condensed milk.
  6. Stir three ingredients on low flame to avoid burning.
  7. Add milk to this and stir continuously until it starts leaving the sides of a pan.
