Instructions

Prepare the Kiwi Puree

Puree the peeled and chopped kiwi using a blender or food processor until completely smooth. Set aside.

Cook the Kiwi Puree

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the kiwi puree and cook, stirring frequently, until it thickens considerably and begins to leave the sides of the pan. This will take approximately 8-10 minutes.

Combine with Khoya

Add the khoya to the cooked kiwi puree. Stir well to combine and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Reduce heat to low if necessary to prevent burning.

Add Sugar

Stir in the sugar and cook until it dissolves completely and the mixture starts to thicken further. Continue stirring constantly to prevent sticking.

Shape and Chill

Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature. Lightly grease a plate or tray with ghee. Once cool, shape the mixture into small peda (diamond-shaped) sweets.

Serve

Refrigerate the Kiwi Ka Peda for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. Garnish with rose petals and chopped dry fruits before serving chilled.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Kiwi Ka Peda

For a richer flavor, use homemade khoya.
Adjust the sugar quantity based on your preference and the sweetness of the kiwis.
If the mixture becomes too thick while cooking, add a tablespoon or two of milk or cream to adjust the consistency.
Experiment with other garnishes like chopped pistachios or cardamom powder for added flavor and visual appeal.
