Tips

Milk:

  1. You get pearly Kalakand with thick Buffalo milk.

  2. Use Milk with greater fat as only then you can get a pearly consistency.

The pan:

  1. The pan in which you make the Kalakand should have a capacity that is three times more than the Milk you are taking. So, if you are using a litre of Milk, you need a pan of three litres. Only then can you stir the Milk without spilling.

Some tips for perfect Kalakand:

  1. The entire taste of Kalakand is in the pearls that form in it. So remove from fire before the pearls turn hard.

  2. To make the pearls form, add some Citric Acid or Lemon Juice. That helps to curdle the Milk a little. The flakes of the Milk should look like Buttermilk flakes, not like Paneer. If you keep stirring the flakes without stopping, it forms into peals. The taste of Kalakand is in those pearls.

  3. Kalakand should be removed from the fire while it is a little thin in consistency. Then it absorbs the Water and thickens on its own. Only then will it remain soft. If you remove it from fire after it hardens, then it becomes too hard.

  4. Bournvita Kalakand needs very little Sugar because Bournvita already has sweetness in it.
