    Sugar free mango peda

    Nov 9, 2020 · 3 Comments

    Jump to Recipe

    Who doesn't melt at the sight of the creamy tasty peda? Yep, the child in us, still loves to eat a handful. Especially when no one is looking. I love making them with jaggery. Be it an elaichi peda or Mathura peda. Mango recipes are a delight just like mawa based ones. When you combine both, you have a winner at hand. You will always relish a sugar free mango peda. Alternatively, you can also shape it into a barfi if you like. Milk powder sweets are easy to make. Everyone loves it. You can easily make mawa at home and then add the flavor you like. Magic!

    It is summer here in Australia. Also the time for Diwali. Time to gorge on sweets and snacks. However, if you do not have fresh mango, you can use the canned mango pulp for this recipe. Thanks to technology you can now make this recipe even in the winters.

    This recipe is for Mango kesar peda although you may or may not add kesar. I love adding saffron to sweets. These few strands give it a great flavor and color.

    Natural sweetener used to make the sugar free mango peda

    There are various types of sweeteners in the market. You can use erythritol or stevia or a combination of both. The only issue with stevia is an after taste so a combination works. However, if you do not have them, honey or good old jaggery or gur works fine. Honey is also a good sweetener but it is not plant based. Gur comes out of sugarcane during the process of sugar extraction. It is rich in iron and has an earthiness to it.

    Versatile mangoes

    Nature shows us with time even the sour things turn sweet. Something to ponder when you look at fruit. Raw mangoes are sour and tangy. They are great for pickles be it mango garlic or traditional cut.Ginger Thokku or sweet chunda and chutney like launji. You can also make panna cooler for a refreshing drink and raw mango rice for mains. However, the sweet ones are great for Mexican salsa and amazing desserts. There are many a mango sweet recipes to cherish like mango pudding, tarts, cheese cake. Indian cooking too uses it to its advantage.

    No one can resist it in lassi, sandesh, kalakand, amrakhand or mango shrikhand.

    Health benefits of mangoes

    1. They are full of Vitamin A and great for eyes.
    2. They help manage cholesterol and cleanse skin.
    3. It also helps lose weight and alkalize your body.
    4. It helps prevent cancer.
    5. I love mangoes because they are naturally sweet. This makes them refreshing when you need energy.

    Natural sweetness implies you use it to your advantage and add less sweetener.

    I try to use natural sugar for sweets as commercial is not good. Hence, jaggery is always at hand. This jaggery based version helps you increase iron content too. Festivals are always a chance to have sweets. Now Diwali is here and so is the chance to satisfy your sweet cravings.

      Hi Bhavana

      I love how simple this recipe is! But I don't get mawa/khoya where I live. What else can I use instead? Also wondering if there is any way to make it vegan?

      Thanks 🙂

        hi Cho
        Thanks for asking, you can easily make mawa/khoya at home with milk powder,cream,ghee(clarified butter) (https://www.secondrecipe.com/making-mawa-in-microwave/)

        Apologies, I do not have the vegan version of this but I were to try then I would try cooking the mango puree first with sugar(as per taste),once its reduced to half , would add coconut flour to bring it to a solid form.

        Thanks
