How to make Milk Cake (Kalakand) :-

1 :- Take milk in a vessel with heavy bottom and place it on
flame for simmering for making milk cake. Simmer the
milk on high flame first. When the milk starts simmering,
start stirring the milk (it is important to stir the milk
constantly else it can stick to the bottom of the vessel).
2 :- Cook until milk remains 1/3 in quantity. When the milk
remains 1/3, reduce the flame. Now to make the milk
grainy, add 3 to 4 tsp lemon juice into it and mix well.
Leave it as it is for half a minute on low flame. Don not stir
the milk (with lemon juice, milk gets grainy in texture).
3 :- After half minute is over, stir the milk again constantly and
cook until it gets denser in consistency on low flame.
4 :- When the milk gets thick and grainy in texture, add sugar
and keep stirring constantly.
5 :- Cook until milk gets really thick in consistency. When the
milk gets thick in consistency, the color gets brown in color
and it emits good aroma. The mixture is ready, reduce the
flame and stir constantly. Now add green cardamom in to
the mixture and mix well.
6 :- For making cardamom powder, peel the cardamoms; take
out seeds and ground to make powder.
7 :- Take a small vessel for setting the milk cake and grease it
nicely with some ghee. The mixture has got turned thick in
consistency, now it can be set. Turn off the flame now.
Transfer the mixture to the vessel and cover it nicely to
set.
8 :- Keep aside the vessel to set. Within 24 hours, milk cake
sets completely. To take out the milk cake from the vessel,
run a knife all around it and re-heat the vessel over the
flame for 5 to 6 seconds to separate it out from the vessel.
Now flip the vessel over a plate, tap on the top to separate
out the milk cake.
9 :- Milk cake is ready, cut it into chunks with any shape or
size. The color of milk cake from inside is dark as it stills
cooks when kept to set. This makes the color dark inside.
Mouth drooling milk cake is ready.

Suggestion:-

1 :- It is very important to stir the milk while simmering. Stir it
really well, by bringing the ladle to the bottom of the vessel
so that milk doesn’t stick to the bottom.
2 :- You need to have patience and plenty of time for making
the milk cake. Make sure that after adding sugar, you cook
the mixture until it gets thick in consistency. Only then the
cake will set appropriately.
3 :- It takes 24 hours for setting the milk cake.
4 :- For making 800 to 900 grams of milk cake
5 :- Time – 90 minutes
