Love kalakand but don’t want to buy it from shops? Want to try your hand at making it at home? Here’s a simple recipe you can use.
Kalakand, a very tasty sweet dish. Everyone likes it, but it is usually store bought. What does one do if one wants to make it at home?
So I’m going to fulfill your wish and share with you my recipe. It is very easy to make kalakand at home. It does not consume much time in the cooking either.
So let’s make some yummy kalakand burfi with common ingredients that can be easily found in most homes.
First of all boil half of the milk; i.e. 1 litre of it.
Now lower the flame, add lemon juice, and stir continuously.
In around 5 minutes, chhena will be separated from the milk.
Hang that chhena in a cotton cloth.
Take another pan. Bring the rest of the milk to boil, and then lower the flame, boiling till it reduces and thickens.
When the milk has been reduced to approximately 1/4 litre, add chhena. Mix it well.
Now add the powdered sugar and keep stirring continuously. Cook till it becomes thick and starts to come together.
Now add crushed cardamom and mix well.
Take a flat pan and grease it with oil or ghee. Pour the thickened mixture into that pan. Garnish it with the cut pistachio.
Rest it 5-6 hours.
Now heat outer layer of pan to loosen it, and take out the kalakand from pan.
Cut into pieces of your favorite size.
Don’t thicken the milk too much. Add the chenna only after the milk has been reduced to less than half a litre.
So, don’t think much more. Make your it today, and share your experiences with us.

Shows like Indian Matchmaking only further the argument that women must adhere to social norms without being allowed to follow their hearts.
When Netflix announced that Indian Matchmaking (2020-present) would be renewed for a second season, many of us hoped for the makers of the show to take all the criticism they faced seriously. That is definitely not the case because the show still continues to celebrate regressive patriarchal values.
Here are a few of the gendered notions that the show propagates.
A mediocre man can give himself a 9.5/10 and call himself ‘the world’s most eligible bachelor’, but an independent and successful woman must be happy with receiving just 60-70% of what she feels she deserves.
Darlings makes some excellent points about domestic violence . For such a movie to not follow through with a resolution that won't be problematic, is disappointing.
I watched Darlings last weekend, staying on top of its release on Netflix. It was a long-awaited respite from the recent flicks. I wanted badly to jump into its praise and will praise it, for something has to be said for the powerhouse performances it is packed with. But I will not be able to in a way that I really had wanted to.
I wanted to say that this is a must-watch on domestic violence that I stand behind and a needed and nuanced social portrayal. But unfortunately, I can’t. For I found Darlings to be deeply problematic when it comes to the portrayal of domestic violence and how that should be dealt with.
Before we rush to the ‘you must be having a problem because a man was hit’ or ‘much worse happens to women’ conclusions, that is not what my issue is. I have seen the praises and criticisms, and the criticisms of criticisms. I know, from having had close associations with non-profits and activists who fight domestic violence not just in India but globally, that much worse happens to women. I have written a book with case studies and statistics on that. Neither do I have any moral qualms around violence getting tackled with violence (that will be another post some day).
