| Pedas are small, round flattened milk based sweets usually eaten and distributed to mark a happy or auspicious ocassion in India. They come in all sizes and flavours but are always round in shape. Malai Peda is the most scrumptious of the lot. It is essentially the famous 'Kalakand' [Kalakaand] but just round in shape [Kalakand is a square fudge filled with dairy goodness]. In India these sweets are traditionally made from 'khoya' and are called 'mithai'. |
