Til ka peda is a traditional Indian sweet that is primarily made from sesame seeds. It originates from India and is particularly popular in northern regions of the country.
Til ka peda has a rich and nutty flavor from the sesame seeds. This peda sweet is mostly enjoyed during festivals like Makar Sankranti, Lohri, and Diwali. This peda also can be enjoyed after meals as a sweet snack.
You can buy this peda from local sweet shops but the problem is that they made this using high glycemic load ingredients and refined sugar, which is not good for your health and can increase your blood sugar levels.
Here, we are sharing a sugar-free peda recipe made using low-glycemic ingredients that don't impact your blood sugar levels and also help to reduce them. This sugar-free peda recipe is perfect for those who prioritize their health without compromising their taste.
We use Diabexy sugar in this recipe because it's an excellent sugar substitute for those looking to control their blood sugar levels. Unlike most sugar substitutes that contain high EGL ingredients like Maltodextrin, maltose, dextrose, or sucrose, Diabexy sugar is made with fructooligosaccharide, which has an EGL of zero. This means it doesn't get absorbed in the intestine and gets flushed out without impacting blood sugar. This makes it a versatile and healthier choice for managing diabetes while enjoying sweet flavors.
