Making / Method
Take A Kadhai ( Pan ) Big Utensil for boiling milk ( non stick pan or kadhai
) , Keep medium flame till first boil. stir it after every 3-4 minutes ,
adjust low- med flame , reduce the milk to 1/3rd to 1/4th of its
quantity ( till proper thick )
it usually takes 40-50 minutes on low flame.
Now milk is reduced to 1/4th of its quantity - add 1/2 tsp lemon juice or
1/4th tsp of alum ( fitkari )
and leave it for 4-6 seconds and then stir it.
Now Cook it for 5-7 minutes more. you can see the thickness now, there are
some curdles now, and consistency is also thick, now add sugar 110 gms
and we will add 110 gms after a while. ( total 220 gms ) now stir it
well / saute well.
Proper measure / quantity matters for this recipe.
Now after 2-3 minutes you can add rest of the sugar i.e 110 gms , add
cardamom powder - 1-2 tspn ( optional ) after adding sugar it will
bubble out much ( be careful )
Now you can see the lumps / curdles are separated , now stir it for 8-10
minutes on low - medium flame and stir continuously. ( till thick
consistency )
Time consuming recipe though more fruitful. 😉
Time Depends on ( low - med flame )
Now you can see the thickness and its not sticking to the kadhai.
( Meanwhile take a dish or tin or dish - grease it well using ghee
)
Make sure it does not sticks too much or becomes chewy.
Now you can see the consistency of our milk cake is perfect for setting -
add ghee 2-3 tbsp and turn the flame off and saute it for 2-3 minutes
continuously.
Seems good consistency now transfer it to the dish or bowl / tin (
greased before )
take a thick kitchen towel or napkin , place this dish or tin ( mould ) on
it.
cover the dish using a plate and let your sweet set for 3 hours ( on room
temp. for mouth melting texture )
Or you can refrigerate it for additional 1 hour afterwards. ( after 3 hours
on room temperature )
Now cover it using 2-3 towels or napkins and let it set well.. !!
After 3 hours you can see our Mouth Melting Milk Cake ( Kalakand ) is ready
to eat.
Cut it into Pieces as you like.
If you like it cold - you can keep it in fridge for 1 hour.
