Hey guys! How are you all?
Today I want to introduce you all to a really popular sweet here in India and something that is my personal favorite too. It is called Kalakand, and once you have it, you simply can’t resist trying to have more.
)
Kalakand found its origins in northern India, and today it is popular throughout the country, no matter where you go. Not only that, chances are, if you visit an Indian sweet shop in other countries, you will most likely find it there too.
Today, I want to show you guys how to make this sweet dish without taking up too much of your time and effort. As with any other recipes, the key to quick, tasty preparation of delicious food is using the right ingredients and in the right proportions. So, make sure you do just that while preparing Kalakand as well. One other thing that you should keep in mind is to use some deep plates to be able to make some thicker pieces of this sweet.

You are welcome.
@travel-cuisine very nice article and thank you for the recipe as well . I read somewhere once, the origin of the kalakand is somewhere in Rajasthan. And the preparation of Kalakand varies from Places to places. While the North East and East part of India i.e Bengal prepares somewhat like milky white kalakand, the same thing is popular in fried version in the western part of India, where it is commonly known as Ajmeri Kalakand.
Thank you. Yes, it is popular throughout india and there are some different ways of preparing it as well.
