# Lal Peda

Lal Peda is Varanasi's answer to the classic milk sweet — khoya, slow-cooked over a low flame until it takes on its signature deep red-caramel colour, then hand-shaped and finished with a touch of cardamom. It's one of the oldest recipes in our kitchen, and still our most-reordered Banarasi sweet.

#### How It's Made

We start with fresh full-cream milk, reduced slowly in small batches until it thickens into khoya. The mixture is then cooked further with sugar until it reaches its characteristic reddish-brown hue — a process that takes patience and can't be rushed. Each peda is shaped by hand before packing.
