PC: Cook With Manali
Kalakand is a sweet that tempts the sweet lovers. It is made only from milk and sugar and it is also very tasty. Today we are going to tell you about its recipe.
Necessary ingredients:
1 liter full cream milk
1 cup sugar
1 large lemon
1/4 tsp cardamom powder
Chopped pistachios and almonds for decoration
Rose petals (optional)
Steps to prepare Kalakand:
-To make Kalakand, first heat full-cream milk on low flame.
- When the milk starts heating, add sugar and cardamom powder to it. Stir with a spoon. When the milk boils, add four to five drops of lemon juice to it. Keep the flame low. Now you have to keep stirring the milk with a spoon for some time.
When the milk starts boiling, add four to five drops of lemon juice to it again. Stir the milk. You should repeat this process until the milk is completely curdled. You will see that the milk is becoming grainy.
-It is important to note that after the first boiling of the milk, this entire process will take only 10 to 12 minutes. In such a short time the mixture will collect at the bottom of the pan and become completely granular. There is no need to dry it completely. Only then will it retain the softness of the confectionary Kalakand. At this stage, transfer the mixture to a smooth plate. Flatten it by patting it with a spatula. Sprinkle chopped pistachios and almonds on top. You can also finely chop rose petals and spread them for decoration. If you want, you can keep it in the refrigerator for some time until it cools down. Your cold, grainy, and juicy Kalakand is ready. Enjoy this scrumptious dessert!
