Authentic Arcot Makkan Peda | The Royal Sweet of Tamil Nadu

The Arcot Makkan Peda Story: Unveil a piece of history with every bite. The Arcot Makkan Peda is a legendary sweet hailing from the royal kitchens of the Arcot Nawabs, a legacy passed down for over 190 years. It's not just a sweet; it's a testament to a rich culinary tradition, perfected in the heart of Tamil Nadu.

What Makes It Special: Often compared to a Gulab Jamun, our Makkan Peda is a class apart. Its secret lies in its rich, buttery "melt-in-your-mouth" texture, a result of a meticulously crafted dough made with pure khoya (milk solids) and a touch of maida (all-purpose flour) 

The real magic, however, is on the inside. Each hand-rolled dumpling is generously stuffed with a premium assortment of 11 dry fruits and nuts, including cashews, almonds, pistachios, raisins, figs, and melon seeds. These impart a delightful crunch and a natural sweetness that perfectly balances the syrupy exterior. After a gentle deep-fry to a perfect golden-brown, the pedas are soaked for hours in a fragrant sugar syrup infused with cardamom and saffron, ensuring they absorb every drop of heavenly sweetness.
