Foods, especially treats, that are as quick to make as they are to eat, are always a yes! Who wants to spend hours cooking up something that's gobbled in seconds!
Kalakand is traditionally a sweet delicacy made with Paneer or milk and sugar, however in this quick version, we use milk powder and thick cream to get the same taste and texture in just minutes.
Here it is, my version of INSTANT KALAKAND - MILK FUDGE:
Ingredients: 1 cup full fat milk powder (or bit more to get texture right), 1/2 cup thick cream (can use low fat cream), 1/2 cup powdered sugar or icing sugar, 2 tbsp badam flavour powder, 1 tsp cardamon powder, crushed Pistachio nuts.
Make:
1. In a glass bowl, put in all of the ingredients except nuts and mix together. Place in microwave for 2 minutes.
2. Remove and stir well, put back in microwave for another 2 minutes. It should be bubbling up and changing texture.
3. Remove and stir well, put back in microwave for another 2 minutes. By now it will be leaving the sides when stirred. If it is too liquid, add a few tablespoons milk powder and repeat process.
4. When the mixture is thick and looks like Kalakand texture, put it all in a lined tray. Pat it flat and sprinkle crushed Pistachio nuts. Let it cool and harden for a few hours before cutting into shape.
