Frequently Asked Questions :

For how many days can we store Mathura Peda?

Stays good at room temperature for 2 days and for a week, if refrigerated. Bring it to room temperature before serving if refrigerated.

Can we use powdered sugar instead of boora?

For making Mathura Peda, powdered sugar is not traditionally used. What is used is known as boora/tagar. It’s sugar with a porous texture, it’s also aromatic due to the addition of ghee. But always remember that if you are using boora, it will soak the moisture of khoya, so while roasting keep enough moisture in it. Otherwise, khoya will be dry and it would be difficult to bind it as peda. But you can use whatever you want to.

What to do if we don’t bind Mathura Peda?

If khoya dries up after adding boora/powdered sugar and you are not able to bind it, don’t panic. Add 1tbsp hot milk in it, if required slightly more, mix everything together and prepare pedas.

Could we use jaggery instead of sugar?

Yes you may. But use powdered jaggery only.

How many pedas can be made with the above proportions?

I was able to get 28 pedas out of this. Depending upon size and shape you can make less or more with these proportions.
