These soft and chocolatey pedas are a modern take on a traditional mithai, perfect for festive prasad. The natural sweetness of khoya blends beautifully with cocoa, and the hint of colour gives them a tempting finish. No elaborate prep or special moulds required—just a few basic ingredients and a little patience!
Ingredients
UNITSIngredients
2 cupsGrated khoya (mawa)
2 tbspCocoa powder
1/2 sugarSugar
2 to 3 dropsChocolate liquid food colour (optional)
Add grated khoya to a non-stick pan. Turn the flame to medium-low and stir gently. The goal here is to warm it enough so it starts releasing fat but doesn’t brown.

Step 2: Add Sugar
Once the khoya softens, add sugar and stir. The mixture will loosen slightly as the sugar melts, then begin to thicken as you keep stirring. Cook until the mix leaves the sides of the pan and forms a lump.

Step 3: Mix Cocoa And Colour
Sift cocoa powder directly into the pan to prevent lumps. Add 2–3 drops of liquid chocolate food colouring to deepen the colour. Mix until you get a uniform, glossy chocolate mass.

Step 4: Cool The Mixture
Turn off the heat and transfer the mixture onto a greased plate or parchment paper. Let it cool slightly—it should be warm enough to handle, but not hot.

Step 5: Shape Pedas
Divide the cooled mix into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion between your palms and flatten slightly to form pedas. Press a sliver of almond in the centre for garnish.
