Notes

  1. Kalakand is a soft burfi
  2. Avoid low fat paneer
  3. If you are using store bought paneer keep it room temperature for half an hour and crumble. If you are using homemade paneer strain the water well before using it
  4. Store kalakand in fridge and keep it 30 minutes before consuming it
  5. Mixture should not be fully dry. Switch off the gas when it turns mass and still moist. If you feel mixture is dry add little milk and cook
