Mathura pedha

I have been wanting to make this peda, did try a recipe but it was super flop!! and that after almost an hour of stirring cooking.. this recipe was given by Drithi's in laws' family friend and turned out to be super duper.. I just love this peda and could go to any extent to make this successfully..

You can see the measurements are a bit odd, this is because I have halved the quantity given by her..
