How To Make Perad: The Goan Guava Cheese Dessert

By Yash Lakhan

Ingredients

2 cups guava pulp (from ripe guavas)
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder (optional)

Get The Pulp Ready

In a pan over medium heat, cook the guava pulp, stirring from time to time.

Add Sugar

When the pulp begins to thicken, stir in the sugar and lemon juice. Cook it until the consistency thickens and becomes spreadable.

Let It Cool

Transfer the mixture to a prepared baking sheet and level. Allow it to settle and cool for a few hours or perhaps overnight.

Serve

Once solid, divide into portions for serving or storing for later.
