Enjoy your Kalakand sweet! This is a traditional Indian sweet that is made with milk and sugar. The sweet is rich, creamy and sweet, with a texture similar to a fudge. The key to making the perfect kalakand is to reduce the milk until it is thick enough that it starts to pull away from the sides of the pan. It’s also important to cook the mixture after adding flour mixture and sugar, to make sure the sweet is set properly. You can add different flavors to the sweet, like saffron, rose water, or nuts. It’s perfect for festivals and special occasions.
