Dharwad peda (
History
 |
Dharwad peda was originally started by the Thakur family who had migrated from
Gavali community in and around Dharwad. His grandson Babu Singh Thakur helped grow the family business further in their Line Bazaar store and the peda came to also be called locally as the "Line Bazaar Peda". The family closely guards the recipe of the Peda as a trade secret which has been passed down through generations. Babusingh Thakur's single outlet store that was running for a few decades expanded later in Dharwad, Hubli, Bangalore, Belgaum and Haveri
. In many other cities around India, other confectioneries also sell Dharwad peda which is not connected to the Thakur family.
Ingredients
The ingredients include milk, sugar and dharwadi buffalo milk.
Preparation
It is made of milk which is heated and stirred continuously, with added flavor and sugar. As a result, it can be considered a kind of condensed milk with flavors.
