   Instant Nonfat Dry Milk (Milk Powder)is what is written on the package and is available at any grocery store in the coffee/creamer aisle. You can buy Carnation brand or any local store brand as well.

   I had these at Prabha’s Diwali party and fell in love with them!

   I’m so happy that they look so easy to make. I plan on making them for three upcoming parties this weekend.

   My question is: will they stay fresh for a few days in the refrigerator, as they await delivery to the various parties I’m attending?

   Hi Jyotica,
   I tried this peda too. But mine is a little mushy. Like the uncooked fudge. I wonder where I went wrong. I microaved for 4 minutes. Should I microwave it more or add more milk powder? I made it for Diwali and can not taste it before that. I will appreciate if u can guide me.
   Thanks.

   Hi,
   I often check recipes on your website and also try some. Each time all the measurements and tips are really helpful.
   This time I found the easiest recipe for peda and tried it immediately. But I find that the peda consistency is still mushy after 4 minutes in microwave. I thought may be after rolling and keeping in the fridge it will stay. But it was difficult to roll properly and after removing from the fridge it starts spreading a little. Like flattening. I have taken the same measuments. Can u help me with that to get it in proper shape? I hope it will not taste chewy. I made for Diwali and can not taste it before that.

   Hi Deepali,

   Sorry for the late response…

   Sometimes, the power level of different microwaves is different. You may have needed to cook the mixture for a little longer.

    I made the microwaved version today and I think it came out great. Softer texture than I’m use to as compared to crunchier Guyanese pera. How could I make the texture a bit harder?Use more milk powder, less butter perhaps?
    I tried air drying, refridgeration, oven drying to no avail.Suggestion?

    Hi Tee,

    Based on our experience with this recipe, it firms up perfectly when cooled. We are not sure what the texture of Guyanese pera is so cannot comment on that. Maybe the power of your microwave is lower than ours and the mixture needs to be cooked for a little longer.

    Something to press against the peda to make a design.
