Recipe Notes

Adjust sugar quantity as per the sweetness desired. You may vary from 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup.Sesame seed adds a nice crunch to the peda here.Always dry roast the sesame seeds before adding.The chana dal can be powdered to either superfine or even moderately fine powder texture. My family like the moderately fine powder one, so I make it like this.Keep an eye while roasting the chana dal, Do not over roast them. Else this will ruin the taste of the pedas.If the dough is not formed easily, then add a little more ghee.
