Paneer Kalakand | Sweets using Condensed Milk | Paneer Recipes
October 22, 2016Next on deepavali recipe collection is this quick Paneer Kalakand that can be prepared easily without any fuzz. Paneer & condensed milk are the two main ingredients required for this dish. Me and my husband love paneer a lot and instead of using it only in gravies and in savory recipes, I tried this Kalakand for a change and it came out really well.

Happy Holi dear readers.
Dhoodh Peda (Milk Peda) is an Indian fudge sweet that is prepared during festivals and celebrations. During my first family trip to Shirdi, I tasted these dhoodh pedas for the first time and was totally mindblown. So flavorful, melt in mouth texture and I couldn’t stop myself from eating it. My aunt who has lived in Pune, told me that Peda/Pedha was so popular there and her neighbours used to distribute it on all important occasions and during joyous moments in their family. This is the reason why I love our Indian Food so much. Each and every recipe has a story behind it. Each and every region has unique food culture and it is always exciting to know more about them. I so wanted to try the traditional elaborate peda recipe sometime. Let see 🙂
On this occasion of Holi, sharing the instant version using Milk Powder (instead of Khoya) and condensed milk. The addition of dark cocoa powder gives a beautiful brown color, chocolate flavor to the pedas. The following measurement serves 25 small sized peda. Adjust the measurements according to your need. If you try this version do let me know your feedback.
