    Butterscotch Peda is a delicious, smooth and flavourful peda with a lot of texture play. The butterscotch sauce gives it a more of a toffee kind of taste.

    Whats your plan for Diwali?

    Coming to today's simple Butterscotch Peda recipe..

    Firstly let me tell you all its super simple to make. The addition of roasted rava is the secret. I mean rava absorbs the moisture and thickens it quickly and hence this peda comes together in just 10 mins. cool na..

    The other important flavouring agent that I have to talk about is this Homemade Butterscotch Sauce. (Update: The recipe for this super easy Butterscotch Sauce is now up on the blog. Click here to know) You all know by now that I prefer easy and quick method of cooking; the impatient me!! so this sauce also comes together in 5 mins.

    You can obviously choose to use readymade butterscotch sauce or butterscotch essence here. Or just comment below and let me know if you would like to know the recipe for the sauce; I would try to post it before Diwali.. πŸ™‚

    Hope you try these interesting recipes for this Diwali and make me a part of your celebration.

    Notes:
    1. If you use warm milk then making this Butterscotch Peda would be quicker as the rava will absorb all the moisture faster. You can however use room temperature milk too if you wish.
    2. For making cashew powder just grind some cashew nuts coarsely.
    3. You can use readymade roasted rava or dry roast rava till it turns pink and use.
    4. If you do not have homemade butterscotch sauce then you can use store-bought too. Or do let me know if you would like to know the recipe of this 5 mins sauce recipe I would try to post before Diwali.
    5. Since the butterscotch sauce is also sweet I added about 3 tbsp of sugar only which was sufficient and perfect however you can adjust it as per your needs.

    I cannot stress on how delicious these Butterscotch Peda turned out to be. Trust me and try it out once; I am sure you all will absolutely love it..
