Mango Kalakand Recipe

Kalakand is a delicious Indian sweet /dessert made from milk and cottage cheese .Its super delicious juicy,soft  and yummy fudge ..The texture is supposed to be grainy/danedar .I have shared a quick kesar kalakand in My early blogging days ..Since its Summers now and the king of fruits Mango is available in plenty , I thought of sharing Mango kalakand this time.

If you have never tried or tasted mango kalakand you should be trying this soon .I can't describe in words how delicious this is.The flavour of the fresh mango pulp is simply amazing

It was just too good,do give it a try You sure gonna love it..

ingredients
3 cups full fat cream milk
100 gm paneer

1/2 cup fresh mango pulp

3 tbsp milk powder
1/2 cup sugar or 3 tbsp condensed milk

1/2 tsp cardamom powder
nuts to garnish

method

• Heat a  wide pan /thick bottomed pan add milk and let it thicken
• Add the crumbled paneer and keep stirring it over low flame 
• Add the milk powder and continue to stir
• Once it thickens add the condensed milk or sugar and continue stirring so that it doesn't stick to the bottom and gets burned.

• You will see the grainy texture ,this is when you need to add the mango pulp and stir with a spatula.
• Also add the cardamom/elaichi powder
• Cook till the mixture starts leaving the sides of the pan .
• Grease a tray or thali with ghee

• Spread the mixture on the thali and garnish with nuts.
• Allow it to set for 2 to 3 hours.
• Cut in desired shapes and enjoy soft danedar delicious kalakand. 

notes

I have used Alphonso mango pulp hence the colour ,you can use frozen pulp as well

I have not used any essence since I  didn't want it to over power the kalakand.

Try and use homemade paneer.

I have used condensed milk ,you may need to add more condensed milk the sweetness was perfect for us as the mangoes i used were sweet.

You amy add more condensed milk or sugar as per your taste buds
