Instructions:
-
In a heavy-bottomed pan, mix the powdered milk and confectioners’ sugar together.
-
Cook the mixture on very low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring continuously until it thickens into a creamy paste.
-
Once the mixture reaches a thick consistency and starts leaving the sides of the pan, it is ready.
-
Transfer the mixture onto a greased plate or tray, spreading it evenly to about 1-inch thickness.
-
Sprinkle sliced almonds and cashews over the top, gently pressing them into the surface of the mixture.
-
Allow the Kalakand to cool down to room temperature.
-
Once cooled, cut the Kalakand into squares or diamond shapes using a sharp knife.
-
Serve and enjoy the rich, creamy goodness of homemade Kalakand!
Tip: For added flavor, you can sprinkle some cardamom powder or garnish with edible rose petals before serving.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Note: Kalakand is best enjoyed fresh but can also be stored and served chilled for a refreshing treat.
