Makkan peda is a quiet popular sweet famous in Arcot districts and this sweet resembles Gulab jamun.
But this is a rich one stuffed with chopped nuts in a disc shaped peda soaked in sugar syrup.Originally this sweet is made with khoya but once Manjula of Desi Fiesta made with milk powder and cream an instant version.
So tried it,the ouput was a soft and juicy makkan pedas and it tastes out of the world.I had only 1/2 cup of milk powder so made a small batch.Try this yummy dessert and enjoy.With no further delay lets move on to the recipe.........................................

  • Let the dough rest it for 10 minutes.Divide the dough into equal balls.Make a dent on the ball and keep some chopped nuts and roll it smoothly.Flatten it slightly and keep it aside.

  • Heat the pan with oil in a medium flame.Drop 3-4 discs at a time and fry it till both sides get nice and golden.Drain it on a paper towel and and drop in in the sugar syrup.Let it soak for 1- 2 hours.

  • Serve it with some chopped nuts.

  •  Do not give so much pressure while rolling the balls.
  •  Here I used almonds and cashews,cucumber seeds and raisins can also be used .
  • Oil should be in a minimum flame otherwise the peda may turned out brown without cooking inside
  • If the oil temperature is very low the pedas may disintegerate in the oil,so make sure to keep a medium temperature.
