How to make Kalakand

Preparation Steps

  1. Step 1

    Boil the milk in a pan until it reduces to half its volume.

  2. Step 2

    Add the lemon juice to the boiling milk and stir until it curdles.

  3. Step 3

    Strain the curdled milk using a muslin cloth to separate the chenna (cottage cheese).

  4. Step 4

    In a pan, combine the chenna and sugar, and cook on low heat until it thickens.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer the mixture to a greased plate and flatten it evenly.

  6. Step 6

    Allow it to cool and set before cutting into pieces.
