Peda is recognized as pure food making it suitable for breaking the fast on religious occasions. Milk is considered as a complete and essential food item for all age groups. Traditional milk products are a part of Indian heritage. Khoa is a base for the preparation of many indigenous sweets. It is prepared by mixing khoa and an appropriate amount of sugar followed by desiccation in kettle or karahi, which dries out the moisture, giving it a long shelf life and making it an ideal Prasad. With technological improvement and new research findings in the dairy sector, it is possible to adopt value addition in processed milk and milk products.
