  • At this point you will notice the mixture has thickened considerably. Allow to cool it down for a bit. Try to shape the mixture into ball. If you are able to make a ball out of it and it doesn't stick, the mixture is ready to make pedas.
  • If you find the mixture to be sticky, cook it in the microwave again in 15-30 seconds increments till the mixture thickens a bit more and isn't sticky any longer.
  • Once the mixture is ready, shape into pedas with your hands or using a peda press. Top with topping of your choice and enjoy!
