Paal Peda

This is the first day of Blogging Marathon by Srivalli. I have selected seven days of Indian Sweets as the theme. For so many days I have been planning to do some posts on sweets. Valli has given me a great oppurtunity to fulfill my wish. These pedas are so delicious. I prepared these for my dad and brother, who are fans of milk sweets. I am now at my mom's place and trying to participate in the marathon. We are going to enjoy these seven days. Everyone here liked these pedas.
