Guava Perad is a traditional Goan dessert that is made specially during the Christmas festival. It is made from ripe guavas and sugar. Chef Akanksha makes it more interesting by adding crunchy nut praline on top of it. 

The soft and lightly chew perad and the crunch of nut praline tickles your taste buds with an explosion of flavour and textures.

Guava Perad with Nut Praline is a super combination of sweets.
