Simple Kalakhand recipe

Method:

1. If you do not have paneer,then add some milk in a pan on flame and when its hot add 2-3 drops of lemon juice or start adding some sugar.While stirring continuously,milk curdles ,thus paneer is formed by removing excess of water from this and keep the paneer aside.
2. Now,pour milk in a pan and add some sugar and milkmaid.Also,add Paneer and keep stirring until you get smooth thickness.Check the ratio of sugar and milkmaid ,since you add milkmaid,needn't add more sugar.
3. Remove the sweet from flame.
4. Add ghee on a flat plate and pour the sweet onto plate.Add the nicely thin sliced nuts on the top and cut the sweet into diamond shape pieces.

Enjoy the Simple Kalakhand recipe as it is or once it is cooled.Either way it tastes yummy and transparent . :)
