Kalakand

Two-ingredient milk fudge — soft, grainy, cardamom-scented kalakand that tastes like a halwai counter.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 12 pieces

Ingredients
  

condensed milk (1 tin)
paneer, crumbled or fresh chhena
cardamom powder
pistachios, chopped
ghee

Method
 

  1. Cook the condensed milk and crumbled paneer together on medium, stirring constantly.
  2. The mix will thicken, then turn grainy and leave the sides — 12-15 minutes.
  3. Mix in cardamom; spread into a greased tray.
  4. Top with pistachios; press gently.
  5. Cool completely, cut into squares. Room temp for soft, chilled for firm.

Notes

The grainy texture is the point — over-smoothing makes it fudge, under-cooking makes it sticky.
