Instructions

Keep heat from low to medium for the entire recipe and continuously stir until done. In a non-stick pan, add 1/2 tbsp ghee and fresh paneer and combine it well. Let it cook for 5 minutes. Add sugar and mix. Now add cardamom powder, saffron infused milk, and the remaining 1/2 tbsp ghee. Cook until the sugar syrup gets evaporated a little (you don’t have to completely evaporate it). Once you see a grainy textured Kalakand, turn off the stove and transfer it into a greased pan or thali. Press it firmly from all sides evenly. Let it completely set for 5-6 hours (depending on the temperature where you live). Cut into desired-sized shapes. Keep it refrigerated after. Enjoy!
