Notes
- The mixing should be done off the stove else the mixture may get easily lumpy.
- Don't panic if the mixture doesn't hold together to form a ball, just cook further for a while again and then try. Once the mixture is switched off it will look a bit runny, leave it to rest by the time it hardens and makes it easy to shape.
- For this measure I got 13 small pedas in total.The number of pedas depends on the size you make too.
- If the mixture is dry and if it cracks when you shape them, add little milk mix well to get a smooth texture but if you add milk shelf life will be less.It will look shiny and sticky while making balls, so grease your hands well while shaping them.
- It takes at least an hour to get set for the perfect texture. If you taste it once you shape them the taste will be good but the texture will be chewy so always let it rest for an hour before serving.
- If you refrigerate it, bring to room temperature while serving else the pedas will be hard.
- Always cook in low flame to avoid burning at the bottom.
