Key to the best texture — Fine coconut works best for this recipe of Coconut Malai Peda as it makes the most smooth-textured pedas that are a delight to relish. If you have large coconut shreds/gratings, consider processing them in the food processor to get a fine consistency of coconut. However, ensure that you run the processor for shorter intervals to avoid making the coconut greasy from the oils released from it while processing. Continuous stirring avoids burning — The mixture of coconut + milk powder + sugar can get burnt quickly as it gets thick and tends to stick to the bottom of the pan while cooking. To avoid this, keep stirring continuously, so it doesn’t get stuck to the bottom of the pan. This will prevent it from burning. For a dairy-free and vegan option — You can comfortably customize this Malai peda recipe and turn it into a dairy-free and vegan version.

Either it is overcooked, or It still retains more than the required amount of moisture.
To fix the over-cooked mixture devoid of moisture, return it to the pan, add some cream or milk and cook it again until it turns perfectly moist. Similarly, for the moisture-laden mixture, please return it to the pan and cook until all the moisture has been absorbed and the mixture has a balanced amount of moisture in it. Now, shape them as the pedas. Fresh or frozen coconut — You can use freshly grated or frozen coconut to prepare this delicious recipe of Coconut Pedas.
