Doodh Peda

Oh yeah, all your screams are audible to me… I had decided not to make any more sweets atleast for another few days but its so ruled that I make some yum yum yummy treats. Ok we all know the drill to make Doodh Peda’s… As a child I was so much into interior designing (I acquired this from my Papa) and cooking shows (definitely from Mamma), hope you all know about Good Food Guide show, Rupa Gulati and ofcourse Tarla Dalal… Those were the days when I used to sit with Mom and watch those shows and that lil voice behind saying “Mommy see what she is doing”, “See how she is doing” and then I expected her to make nice delectable dishes… She did manage to satisfy everyone, a house full of people with different taste and different time they choose to eat…

I still remember, the oven that Mom used to have that Ol’ one with all the lil accessories for making cake and we (myself and my Brother) used to help her make Cakes, cookies and Veg. puffs(she makes just like the store bought ones) and wait to get the last lick of the mixing bowl :) Days haven’t changed yet; even today we take pleasure in licking the bowl, a lil fight as to who gets the bowl and the spatula… She has taught even my aunts daughters how to cook and the irony lies her she let go of me… I call her to find out recipes most of the days :) and also remember to peek into my lil note in which I took note of the recipes that I watched when I was young and today I came across this nice Sweet lil pedas.

Now, you will ask me this why I had to make sweets in spite of the oath. We are visiting a friend/relative of ours, and I take immense pleasure in adding a personal touch to whatever I take but I had very little time to really think and make something so I iterated thru my lil book and found this…
