Tips & Secrets
- Using fresh, soft khoya is mandatory; dry or stale khoya will result in a professional-grade grainy and unpleasant texture.
- Adding sugar to the khoya when it is too hot will melt the sugar and turn the pedas professional-grade sticky; wait for the mixture to be warm.
- Always knead the mixture for a minute after adding sugar specifically to achieve that professional high-end smooth finish.
