Instant Kalakand Recipe (Quick Kalakand)
Kalakand Sweet Recipe is a popular sweet originated in Alwar, Rajasthan. This sweet is made purely with milk and milk based ingredients. Making halwai style traditional kalakand requires time and patience, but this version which I have shared here is instant and can be made in less than 20 minutes and just 6 ingredients used with store bough paneer, sweetened condensed milk and milk powder.
Equipment
Blender
Nonstick skillet
5 inch square pan
Parchment Paper

Instructions
- Line a square pan with parchment paper and grease with ghee if needed. Set aside.

- Take paneer in a mixer and blend it. Take it in a bowl, add in milk powder, condensed milk, sugar, cardamom and mix well. The mixture will be thick and looks creamy.
