CHOCOLATE PEDA
I constantly try to cook with chocolate, guess the reason………well well, i have a chocolate loving teenager at home.My daughter is a chocoholic like many kids. She is happy to eat probably all sweet with a chocolate flavor . When she returned from school on friday, the first sentence she uttered was ” MOM CAN I HAVE A CHOCOLATE”?Well my answer was” NO…… BUT.. YES…She wondered at the ambiguity of the answer.
well there was’nt any chocolate in the fridge so i decided to quickly cook a choco dish to satiate her cravings:-)I decided to cook CHOCOLATE PEDA
I adapted this from a recipe from Tarla dalal cookbook
1. Condensed milk 1 tin
2. Butter 1 cup
3. Maida 2 tbsp
4.Choco powder 2/3 cups
5.mixed grated nuts 1 cup
In a deep pan add all the ingredients together and mix well so that there are no lumps.
cook on medium fire till the mixture leaves the sides of the pan. Since i used a non stick pan, the mixture never really stuck to the sides and i took it off the fire when all the mixture came together into a ball( the whole mass sticks into a ball to the spatula).
cool at room temperature
take small balls and shape into pedas
I am sure all chocoholics would love to eat this peda.
My teenagers verdict: “IT JUST MELTS IN THE MOUTH…..YUMMMMMMM”
Do try this out, very easy and fast to dish it out
Until then happy cooking:-)
Hi
It looks yummy, going to try it today.
But just one doubt, Can I use ghee instead of butter?
Hy veena, this is one of my fav sweet….too tempting…love to grab one…!
hi nivedita
thank you for the compliment. I am not sure if you will get the same texture if you use ghee. anyway try it out and let me know:-)
hi jay

Have tried chocolate peda but not using maida..sounds very delicious..a must try one..thanks for sharing this..
thank you Nithu for your kind words
Very rich in chocolate indeed. I love the fact that I wouldn't have to bake it- so no extra heat in my house to deal with in summer! Will try it today itself since I have some condensed milk to use- so one question- did you use sweetened one or plain?
Hi Adelina
yeah no baking:-) and i have used sweetened condensed milk as i have not used extra sugar
You bet this a chocoholics dessert!! Thanks for visiting my blog!!
I definitely trust your teenagers verdict, sure it's a melt in the mouth, looks so delicious.
