Notes
- The quantity of sugar used is just perfect, without turning the pedas sickly sweet considering this is a rich, milky sweet. It can be adjusted depending on individual preferences.
- Make sure to cook the mixture on low to medium heat, stirring continuously. This prevents it from sticking to the pan or turning grainy, ensuring smooth, soft pedas every time.
