Mathura Peda

A delicate and rich treat

A visit to Mathura is incomplete without gorging on the classic dessert of the mawa (khoya) Peda, which is an intrinsic part of the city's cultural identity. Although it's available in various places across the Indian Subcontinent, the magic of Mathura ka Peda is impossible to replicate.

What sets this Peda apart is its distinct golden brown caramelized colour that only appears after hours of cooking whole milk over a fire, this process is tedious and requires patience. However, the end result leaves a lasting imprint on your mind with the impeccable taste and texture that is incomparable. In fact, most sweet lovers would unequivocally agree that the Pedas emerging from the cranky sweet shops around the Dwarkadhish temple, simply manifests pure love, devotion and nostalgia.
