Makkan Peda - Go Nuts to See the Nuts

Makkan Peda - Go Nuts to See the Nuts..

Makkan peda - I had just heard the name for many years but did not get to eat one. I was not curious to know about it too. After marriage, whenever we visit any sweet shop, my husband would enquire about this makkan peda. I used to wonder what is the big deal about "makkan peda". It seems my husband had it once when he was a kid and fell in love with it. Then he tried to explain me about how it will look like, how it would taste like etc.,

Since it was a long time my husband too had any makkan pedas, one day I remember, my husband bought a small size honey-soaked-bun thinking it was a makkan peda..😂😅. After so many years, one fine day we had a chance to eat makkan peda in a function. The credit goes to my grandmother. No.. it's not what you think.
