Kalakand

 

Ingredients:

Milk - 2 ltrs

Vinegar or lemon juice - 1 tbsp

Sugar - 100 gms/ half cup

Pistachios - 10 -12

Almonds - 5 - 6 

 

Method :-

Take 2 deep heavy pans and pour 1 ltr. milk each in both the vessels.  Now let the milk boil in the pans. Put lemon juice in one pan. Once the chenna separates from the milk sieve the mixture with a clean cloth and strain the excess water. The milk being boiled in the other pan should be boiled till it reduces to half. 

 

Keep on stirring the milk with a spoon at short intervals so that it doesn't stick at the bottom of the pan. The consistency of the milk will become extremely thick once it is reduced to half.

 

Now add chenna to the milk and stir it continuously. Cook the mixture till it gets thick. Add sugar to it and stir the mixture.

 

Take a tray and grease it with little oil. Pour the mixture into the tray and let it set. Garnish the mixture with pistachios and almonds. Cut it into desired shape and serve it.
