Mathura peda
Mathura ke Peda is the delicacy of Mathura, a very popular and well known place of Uttar Pradesh State of India. These peda are made up of khoya/ mawa (dried evaporated milk), mixed together with sugar, cardamom and ghee. Due to usage of mawa, their recipe is also poplar as mawa peda recipe. This mawa peda recipe is not so complicated, if you try it patiently, the outcome is awesome.

Anyone can prepare peda easily at home by following below instructions. To make this peda recipe you can try this traditional khoya and Instant khoya. I will recommend to use the traditional oneas it will give the best result.So let’s jump to the recipe.

If anyone is wondering the Nutrition Facts for it. It will be around 1883 calories for the whole recipe and If you were to make 20 pieces then the Calories in one peda will be 94.1 calories. (C -16.75, P – 1.6, F – 2.3 )

Hi Rachna. Thanks for this recipe. I have one question – what if add the sugar while keeping it on the flame itself? Should we be able to make the pedas once it is cooled off? Though I understand heat will melt the sugar but was wondering in that case also pedas can be made later on.
Thanks!

Can I substitute the powdered sugar with boora/tagar sugar? I just heard that using this in Indian sweets amplifies the taste so I was wondering if I could use it in this recipe.

Hi Aiman,
Tagar is desirable in indian sweets as it adds a lot of authentic flavour. It’s very to make. You can follow this tutorial to make it. http://rachnas-kitchen.com/how-to-make-tagar-or-boora-sugar-at-home/
Hope this helps. If still you want to use powdered sugar, you may use it but texture and flavour may differ. ThanksReply
