Dates Doodh Peda

Doodh Peda is an Indian sweet, which is made by simmering milk for few hours and condensing it and adding sweetener to it. I am not boasting this as a health food but this definitely is a much healthier version of the regular doodh peda. This is made from unprocessed raw milk, rich in Calcium and protein and using the iron rich date syrup in place of refined sugar. Try it out and i am sure you will like it.
