Looks delicious. I love the way you post pictures of sweets. Makes me want to grab one from your plate.
Lovely Pedas…Did you make the Khoya at home or is it store-bought..?
I used homemade khoya.. you can use any khoya. thanks! 🙂
I tried this recepie today and looks like this became chewy and not soft. Did I over cook?
They will be chewy while shaping but once they cool down, they will set well. And overcooking will make them chewy. Sorry for my late reply. Have a great day! 🙂
