BM #90 Week 2 Day 3 -
To conclude this month's series 'Instant dishes', here is a personal favorite. This version of kalakand is a great way to enjoy the last few mangoes of this season.
I remember my mom slogging in front of the stove to make kalakand the old-fashioned way. Now when it is my turn to make it, I always look for easy and quick ways to enjoy such treats.
My family and friends enjoyed this mango kalakand.
Ingredients -
Mango Pulp 1 1/4 cup (I used store bought pulp)
*Paneer 1/2 cup
Milk Powder 3/4 cup
Condensed Milk 1/4 cup (adjust as per the sweetness of mango pulp)
Cardamom Powder and Chopped Nuts for Garnish
*I used homemade soft paneer from 1 liter low fat milk (2%). Store bought grated paneer can also be used.
Method Of Preparation -
In a microwave safe deep bowl, add the mango pulp and microwave in high power for 3 minutes.
Remove, mix and add in the soft paneer and milk powder. Whisk well and zap for another 2 minutes.
Remove, mix and cook for 2 more minutes.
Remove, add condensed milk, mix and cook for 5 more minutes in 1 minute intervals. Make sure the mixture doesn't overflow.
When the mixture is semi dry and looks grainy, it is done. Ensure that it the mixture is not totally dry.
Transfer the mixture onto a greased container. Pat it evenly. Sprinkle the cardamom powder and chopped nuts. Allow it to rest/cool for a few minutes.
Slice and enjoy.
Preparation Time 15 minutes + Cooling time 30 minutes
Makes 16 1-inch pieces
