\"Kalakand\"<\/a>
Kalakand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Like a lot of my fellow Indians, I also have a sweet tooth and I just love mithais<\/em>. I’m always tempted to buy more than I need at the local mithai<\/em> shops. With so many options to choose from, and with constant innovations on mithais,<\/em> the treat keeps getting sweeter. There are still tons of options for traditional sweets, one of which is kalakand. Kalakand<\/em> comes from the state of Rajasthan, although it is widely used all over the north Indian states. Made with sweetened milk and a slight deviation from burfi<\/em>, the sweet has a very nice grainy texture and an amazing taste. The traditional way to make a kalakand<\/em> could be very cumbersome, so we give you an easy-to-follow recipe where kalakand<\/em> can be made quickly and has the same great taste. It is widely used in religious ceremonies and festivals and looks great when decorated with pistachios and a silver foil. You can easily try your hand at this simple recipe and have a sweet ending to your meals.<\/p>\n
