Doodh peda is a popular North Indian dessert that is a type of milk fudge and barfi or burfi, which is an Indian sweet made with sugar and condensed milk, cooked until it solidifies. There are different kinds of burfi and doodh pedha is one of the more popular ones. Doodh pedha burfi is creamy with a coarse grainy texture. In this recipe, doodh pedha is flavored with cardamom powder and garnished with almonds. Full cream milk, white sugar, water, and clarified butter or ghee is also used to make the burfi.

Commonly prepared and served in India during special occasions such as weddings, birthdays, or religious celebrations, doodh pedha can be easily made at home but it takes quite some time to make so patience is key to obtain the desired creamy yet solid consistency.

Burfi can also be garnished in countless ways with cashew nuts, saffron, pistachio, kewra oil, chocolate, almond, walnut, or carrots. Commonly, burfi is decorated with “vark,” a metallic leaf that is made to be edible.

Doodh pedha also makes a wonderful treat for the holidays as an alternative to sugar cookies or fruit cake. This classic Indian sweet treat can be quite nutritious and will be a hit among the kids and the adults alike. It goes very well with tea or coffee, as well as with milk. Rich, sweet and simple to make with only a few ingredients, this also makes a wonderful gift for colleagues, neighbors, and friends.

To get the melt-in-your mouth texture, you need to cook the milk and sugar on low heat slowly, using a thick and heavy-bottomed pan. For a smooth and soft doodh pedha, lightly grease your palm and fingers with flavorless oil or clarified butter before rolling the pedhas into small balls. You can substitute cardamom powder with a small pinch of saffron, or you can use masala powder for a spice version.
