mango peda burfi

Wondering how to cook oatmeal for breakfast or snacks? Here's a simple yet delectable oatmeal recipe that uses no oil or sugar but gives you a lip-smacking delight.

Still have doubts?

Well, let's see how to make this healthy oatmeal recipe.

Mango is the king of fruits. I love it, you love it, and we all are fond of this pulpy, tangy, sweet, luscious fruit. The only person I know who doesn't like mango is my SIL (strange but true - yea, everyone has a choice). Anyway, in continuation of my food experiments, this time I have come up with a stunner.

My last burfi got really good reviews from different food groups. On top of it, hubby loved it. This gave me the confidence to introduce the king of fruits to my sweets experimentation spree. I was unsure how my experiment with a strange combination of oats and mango would come up, but I am writing this note while enjoying one of the healthiest sweets on earth. Do not get me wrong here - of course, there are better sweets out there. But when it comes to making sweets at home with the healthiest of ingredients, I can say my mango peda will stand tall among the competition.

Serve these healthy pedas to your loved ones and surprise them with a healthy treat - yes, it can be addictive. So make a big batch.

Uffff ....enough of self-praise!
