Indian mithai enjoys a culinary fanbase across the globe. Relishing sweets after a full-fledged meal has become an unspoken rule in Indian households. It fills you with satisfaction and your food escapade feels complete. Speaking of sweets, one name that pops in our mind is the crumbly and soft Kalakand — a specialty in Alwar, Rajasthan. Don’t believe us? Wait before you watch this Anjeer Kalakand preparation video on Instagram shared by food vlogger Khushal Jangid. Beware! If your cravings intensify, we are not to blame.
The food vlogger informed viewers that the Anjeer Kalakand shown in the video was from the confectionary shop Kahnaiya Sweets at Kushalgarh in Alwar. Priced at Rs. 420 per kg, he strongly “recommends” foodies to try the sweet. Without further ado, let’s delve into the making of this delicious Kalakand recipe.
How To Make Alwar’s Special Anjeer Kalakand:
To start with, a generous amount of milk is poured into an enormous steel pan. After all, milk is the primary component of most sweet dishes for flavour enhancement and a rich texture. Next, two big cans filled with sugar are spilled into the pan and stirred uniformly. Dried anjeer is diced in the following step and added to the milk-sugar concoction. Brownie points to those who guessed the ingredient correctly.
The milk was left to boil as bubbles rose from the pan. The wait is almost over foodies. Soon, the milky white texture turns reddish-brown, forming a crumbly consistency. Whisking it well, the content is then scooped out and poured into a tin tray. Sliced in equal parts, your Anjeer Kalakand is now ready to be devoured.
