Festival or no festival, Indians love sweets! And, with the festival season just around the corner, the search for easy but tasty sweets like Quick Mawa Peda only becomes more intense.

Well, here is one recipe that is sure to make it to your book of favourites. The traditional, evergreen mithai - Khoya Peda has been made easy and quick using readymade mawa. Make sure you use regular mawa for this peda and not the hariyali mawa that is used to make Gulab Jamun .

This Instant Mawa Peda is quicker than most other pedas but retains its authenticity and traditional charm. It will last for a week if stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

I would like to suggest to some tips to make the perfect mawa peda recipe. 1. Buy the mawa which is used to make mithais. 2. Add 2 tbsp milk to mawa if the khoya from market is too dry, this will help to make soft mava pedas. Also, it is advisable to make use of a heavy bottomed pan when making Indian mithais but, since this is an instant mava peda recipe we are using a non-stick pan. 3. Refrigerate the Quick Mawa Peda mixture for 20 minutes. This makes the process of shaping the pedas easier.

You can also try other mithais using mawa like Amrit Modak, Jaripalla Churma and Kopra Pak.
