But you can also enjoy these delicious Mango Pedas whenever you please, even when Mangoes are not in season. These beautiful and irresistibly flavourful Instant Mango Pedas can also be enjoyed all year round by using canned mango pulp.

As sweetness of Mangoes varies a lot, sugar should be adjusted according to the sweetness of the pulp.
"Use a Non-Stick Pan and Don’t Overcook"
The mixture is very sticky and tends to stick to the pan a lot, so try and use a non-stick pan for this Aam Pedha recipe. Always cook on low heat only whilst stirring constantly to avoid mixture from burning.
Make sure there are no lumps in the mixture and remove from heat as soon as mixture starts holding shape and doesn’t stick as much to the pan.
It’s very important to not OVERCOOK the mixture or the Mango Pedhas will turn hard, sticky, and chewy instead of having a nice soft and smooth texture.
After removing from heat immediately transfer the mixture in a bowl to cool down. Leaving it in hot pan will mean that mixture will keep cooking further and its texture will change.
These scrumptious Mango Pedas are instantly ready due to the use of milk powder. With this easy Mango Peda recipe there is no need to stir for hours to reduce milk down. Yet you get equally delicious taste with less effort and time.
Cashew powder in this quick Mango Peda recipe enhances the taste and makes these Pendas even more flavourful. Using Saffron is optional but if you have use it as it enhances the colour and flavour of these Aam Pedhas.
Ganish these pretty Mango Pedas with some finely chopped or slivered Pistachios if you want to enhance their beauty even further.
Serve this Mango Peda with milk powder right away or store in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to a week so that you can enjoy it for longer.
