Instant Kalakand Recipe is a very famous Indian milk cake made from solidified, sweetened milk and cottage cheese. Usually, the traditional Kalakand Recipe is done by simmering the milk for hours and it is definitely a long procedure. But the method I have shared here is an instant one, which gets finished in 15 minutes. You can slice and make it in a barfi style or scoop and have it like halwa also, it tastes too good in either way. I have shared this instant kalakand with step by step detailed pictures and a short YouTube video, do try this for the upcoming festivals like Raksha Bandhan, Janmashtami or Diwali.

Notes

Tips for Instant Kalakand Recipe

  1. Don't grind the paneer in a mixer and make it mushy. Just crumble it with your hands or grate it using a grater. 
  2. Use good quality paneer as the whole taste of the Kalakand Recipe comes from paneer. I used homemade paneer.
  3. Sugar was perfect for me if you are a sweet tooth add 2 tbsp of sugar more.
  4. Even 2 tbsp of milk powder can be added, which thickens the Instant kalakand soon and gives firmness also.
  5. Always use a heavy-bottomed pan or non - stick pan only. Also, stir it continuously until it reaches the desired consistency to avoid burning at the bottom. 
  6. Furthermore, the final kalakand mixture should not be watery or dry. Ensure there is moisture.
  7. When the kalakand mixture is spreadable itself, switch off the flame. Don't cook more else it becomes chewy.
  8.  Furthermore, for more flavor, even 1 tsp of rose water can be added.
  9. Set aside the kalakand for a minimum of 3 hours and then cut it. Otherwise, refrigerate for a few hours and then slice it. But bring it to room temperature before serving.
