This is an excellent recipe ... for KALAKAND, not peda! An authentic peda recipe should have only khoya (reduced milk) or shortcuts in the form of condensed milk and milk powder. The addition of citric acid followed by reducing milk makes it Kalakand. I'm taking off 1 star for the incorrect name but giving it 4 stars for its delicious taste.
