    Kalakand Recipe with step by step pictures. This is made with Paneer , Condensed Milk and Milk Powder. Popular sweet for diwali.

    Instant Kalakand

    Kalakand is my all time favourite, i already have shared a kesar kalakand recipe in my blog. This one is my instant version and it is so easy to make and taste just like store bought ones, actually more tasty than them.

    Ingredients for Kalakand Recipe

    • Paneer - 200 grams cubed ( I used store bought)
    • Condensed Milk / Milkmaid - ½ cup
    • Sugar - 1.5 tbsp
    • Milk Powder - 1.5 tbsp
    • Cardamom Powder / Yelakai Podi - ½ tsp
    • Ghee - 1 tsp
    • Pista - few to top the kalakand
     

    How to make Kalakand Recipe

    1. Line a square pan with parchment paper or foil.
    2. I washed the paneer really well in water.
    3. Take paneer in a mixer and blend it. Take it in a bowl, add in remaining ingredients except ghee and mix well.
    4. Pour this entire mix in a non stick pan and mix well. Keep cooking till it starts to leave the sides.
    5. Now add in a tsp of ghee and mix well.
    6. Once it leaves the side of the pan, pour this into a parchment lined pan and allow it to set for 3 to 4 hours.
    7. Once it is set, cut it into squares stud each square with a pista.
    8. Serve.
