Dharwad peda recipe | Dharwad pedha | how to make dharwad pede is a special milk-based sweet recipe from North Karnataka. Traditional Dharwad peda recipe takes hours to prepare but here is an Instant 15 minutes version. No compromise in taste and texture.

Should I roast milk powder golden brown?

Yes, the uniqueness of Dharwad peda is caramelizing the milk till it turns golden brown. I did the same with milk powder. Always roast milk powder in low- medium flame and mix well them in between for even roasting. It took me around 12 minutes to roast milk powder.

Will roasted milk powder taste bitter?

No, it gives a tasty caramelized flavor to the peda. Slow roasting is the key. Dharwad pedha is Indian caramel milk fudge

Will milk powder Dharwad peda tastes like milk peda?

No, though milk powder is the key ingredient for both the peda, both peda taste so different.

Can I roast milk powder in high flame for quick peda?

No, it is very important to roast milk powder in low- medium flame. Roasting milk powder in high flame might turn burnt and that gives bitterness to the peda recipe.

Can I use water instead of milk?

Milk gives richness to the peda so I would recommend using milk for the best Dharwad peda. Also adding milk little by little gives a nice grainy texture to the pedha.

Can I use regular sugar for darwad peda?

For coating/rolling, I have used fine sugar but for peda preparation always use powdered sugar. After adding the powdered sugar we don't cook so you shouldn't use powdered sugar. I have used store-bought confectioners sugar but you can also powder the sugar at home and use it. Adjust the sugar according to your taste.

Can I roll Dharwad pedha right after mixing?

Yes, you can make it as soon as they turn warm enough to roll. Always grease your hand with little ghee for easy rolling

Can I skip rolling in sugar?

Though this is not a traditional dharwad peda preparation to replicate the taste and texture I have rolled with sugar.  You can skip according to your taste
