Kalakand (Milk cake)

Ingredients:

1 liter whole milk

1/2 lemon juice
3/4 cup of condensed milk
2 tbsps of ghee(clarified butter)
Finely grated pistachios( approximately 8-10)
1/3 tsp of cardamom powder.
Procedure:

First we need to prepare chhana, for preparing chhana heat 1 liter milk, when the milk starts boiling add lemon juice to it and reduce the flame and keep stirring occasionally for around 4-5 minutes. 

At this point you can see light yellow colour water and chhana, if it is not formed then keep stirring until you get it.

Then pour the whole thing into muslin cloth or colander, over a sink. Remove the excess water by squeezing gently, then keep it aside. this channa or fresh paneer is ready.

Heat ghee in a non stick pan, then add the chhana and fry it for around 5 minutes on medium flame.

Then add condensed milk and keep on stirring until it thickens to a waterless firm lump, then add cardamom powder, mix well.

Now grease any tray or plate with little ghee and transfer the kalakand, sprinkle some chopped or grated pistachios on it and leave it to cool down.

Cut according to your wish and enjoy.
