Easy kalakand recipe with condensed milk and paneer in just 10 minutes.
A popular Bengali Sweet that can be prepared even by bachelors. This
recipe needs only 4 ingredients: very little milk, condensed milk,
paneer and a flavoring ingredient like cardamom powder. It tastes
deliciously delicious with a crumble texture just like the one sold in
sweet stalls.The authentic Kalakand recipe calls for curdling milk to make paneer, next condensing the milk for hours and the next process is same as mentioned below. The recipe Iam sharing today is just a cut short method to make a great tasting kalakand that can be prepared on any occasion without having to toil for hours.
I highly suggest using a heavy bottom pan. I tried using a heavy bottom nonstick, but it began to stick, so I transferred it to a stainless steel heavy bottom pan and it worked right.

1. To make paneer check this post on how to make soft paneer. Crumble the paneer and set aside.2. Keep your nuts ready. I pulsed some pistachios, you can use silvered almonds or pulsed almonds whatever is handy. Chopped nuts will also do
3. Grease a plate. I had a parchment paper handy so i placed it on a plate instead of gresing. You can use foil too or just go ahead with a greased plate.
4. Add condensed milk to a heavy bottom pan and begin to warm up on a low flame
5. Add paneer, milk and kewra water or cardamom powder or rose water
6. Mix well and begin to cook, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Very soon it becomes a thick mass and begins to leave the sides of the pan. Switch off the stove. If you can manage can increase the flame to medium while cooking. It took about 8 minutes for me on a medium to high heat with constant stirring.
