They not only look pleasing to the eyes but also  absolutely delicious !! This recipe is sure to brighten your diwali!

Chef Tips:

1. You can make this recipe on stove top also. Cook in low heat for  around 15 minutes . The mixture will leave the sides of the pan, switch off. 
2. Use a wide and deep glass bowl as the milk will raise when boiling. 
3. Using a sweet press /mould gives the pedas an attractive  look. 
4. You can use chopped or crushed almonds/cashews for garnish.
