NOTES:
*Substitute for Instant gulab jamun mix powder is milk powder.
The original recipe asks for milk powder, but I wanted to try this way.
So, I made two batches of pedas. The first one with milk powder and second one
with Gulab jamun mix. The pedas made with gulab jamun mix were glossy, much
more creamy than the other, and had a good texture. I suggest you to use Gulab
jamun mix in your pedas.
*Use ripe mangoes for this recipe, any mango of your choice will go.
*I have used fresh mangoes here, you can use store-bought canned
mangoes too.
*The reason behind freezing the pedas for 5 mins is that the pedas are
soft and will hold shape when placed in the freezer.
*You can add chopped dry fruits in the mixture before shaping, it will
add a crunch to your pedas.
