Kalakand Sweets Recipe
Kalakand is a very sweet, juicy and moist Indian recipe that is made with Milk and Sugar.
Ingredients
- 1.5 liter full cream milk for making paneer
- 3 tbsp vinegar
- ½ liter milk for the sweet
- ½ cup sugar
- Chopped Pistachios
Instructions
- Take 1.5 liter of full cream milk. Wait until one boil. Stir in between.
- Once a boil comes, turn off the flame and add 3 tbsp of vinegar. The “Chenna” or “Paneer” will get separated and the water will turn greenish.
- Strain the water and also wash the Paneer from normal water 2-3 times. Let the excess water drain off from the mixture. Keep it aside for now.
- Take a pan/Kadai and add ½ liter milk. Let it come to a boil on high flame. After it comes to a boil, stir it on medium flame to make it thick.
- Once the milk reduces to its half, add ½ cup of sugar. Don’t add all the sugar at once. First add and mix half of it and then add another half. Mix it well and cook until the milk thickens.
- In the meantime, mash the dried out paneer mixture using a masher.
- Add the Chenna/Paneer mixture to the milk and mix well on medium flame.
- Set it on a Ice cream plate. Press the sides evenly using a spatula. Leave it for 30 minutes so that it sets well.
- Garnish with chopped Pistachios.
- Cut it evenly into square pieces. The super delicious Kalakand sweet is ready.
