Instant Kalakand With Milkmaid And Paneer

Kalakand is an Indian sweet made out of sweetened milk and paneer. The traditional way of making kalakand is a very long process and time taking. Here I am sharing an easy and quick version of making kalakand.
Traditionally kalakand is prepared by evaporating and solidifying the milk. After which this thick milk is curdled, add sugar and cook for few more minutes. Finally cut this into shapes. In this quick and easy recipe, I am using milkmaid with soft and spongy paneer (cottage cheese). As a result, the long process of evaporation and curdling is completely skipped.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tin Milkmaid
  • 400 Gram paneer/cottage cheese
  • Few strands of saffron
  • 2-3 Tblsp chopped pista
  • 7-8 cardamom powdered

Instructions

  • Firstly take a heavy bottom non-stick pan and put it on medium flame. Pour the condensed milk tin completely.
  • Grate the paneer and add it to the pan. Instead of grating, you can crumble it too with your hands.
  • In addition to condensed milk add the paneer as well. Combine both the ingredients nicely and keep stirring. Make sure both are mixed nicely together.
  • Within few minutes milkmaid starts melting and the mixture will start thickening. Keep stirring on medium flame.
  • Add cardamom powder and saffron strands, mix well.
  • By now mixture will start leaving the sides of the pan.
  • Transfer this mixture to a greased plate and level it evenly.
  • Decorate it with chopped pista and let it cool completely before cutting.
  • Finally cut the kalakand into a square shape and serve.

Notes

  1. If you want an extra sweet version of kalakand, then add 2-3 tablespoon of sugar.
  2. Kalakand should be cooked on medium to low flame and requires continuous stir.
  3. Add few drops of rose water which will bring extra flavor to kalakand.
