Looking for quick and easy Indian sweets for festivals like Diwali, holi? This almond fudge or badam peda is a very easy to make quick and rich dessert with just 4 ingredients. This sweet is made in the same lines of kaju katli, almond katli, kaju pista rolls and very exotic one too.

Peda is a traditional Indian sweet made with reduced milk. Making authentic peda does take time and labor. But there are so many instant peda recipes you can make that taste equally delicious like this badam peda, easy milk peda, kesar peda

For this badam peda recipe I have used a small amount of gulkand or natural rose preserve. Gulkand is a rose preserve made with rose petals and honey. It is widely used in India as natural body coolant. I also use it to make gulkand lassi, ice cream and even in cake.
