Mathura ka Lal Peda
Product USP:
A rich, caramel-hued peda born from Mathura’s sacred sweet-making tradition, offering deep flavor, silky texture, and a taste steeped in cultural heritage.
History of the Product + Ingredients:
The Lal Peda is one of Mathura’s most iconic offerings — a sweet perfected over centuries in the land revered as Lord Krishna’s birthplace. Our recipe stays true to the Braj tradition: buffalo-milk khoya from Uttar Pradesh is slow-roasted in pure ghee from Gujarat until it turns a deep, toffee-like caramel. Sweetened with fine boora sugar from local mills and fragranced with spice-belt cardamom, each peda embodies the richness of Mathura’s devotional kitchens and the artistry of its sweet makers.
Shelf Life:
-
Room temperature: 3–5 days

Refrigerated: 7–10 days (can extend up to 21 days with optimal storage)
