India is known for its delicious variety in sweets and mithais. Milk is an integral part of most of them and kalakand is one such mithai which is made of milk. Its one of my favorites and I often wondered how I could make it at home as I am very happy cooking various things at home. Here is the recipe I tried which has been adapted from manjula's Kitchen and a facebook page....Ghar ka khana. I made fe changes and the result is absolutely amazing.
