- 1 tbsp chopped Pista or Almond You may use both varieties

Instructions
How Kalakand is made?
- Set a non stick skillet or pan over medium heat and add about ½ tbsp ghee to grease the pan.
- Add the Chenna or cottage cheese and the condensed milk and cook over medium heat stirring gently from time to time. Cook the Chenna until it thickens. Refer the Video. Add the rest of the ghee, green cardamom powder and stir gently to mix it well with the chenna.
- When the chenna comes to the right consistency which is moist yet thick turn off the heat immediately.
How to set the Kalakand?
- Grease a square or rectangular container with ghee. You may layer the container with parchment paper and than grease the paper.
- Gently transfer the hot Kalakand mixture into the container and spread it evenly with the help of the spatula or your hand pressing gently.
- Sprnkle the chopped nuts evenly on top of the kalakand slab and allow the mixture to cool down completely and set at room temperature.
How to slice Kalakand?
- Once the Kalakand mixure is well set and cold lift the ends of the parchment paper and bring it out from the container.
- Grease a knife with ghee and make desirable pieces (squares or diamonds). Enjoy.

Notes
- Measuring units used, 1 cup = 240 ml & 1 teaspoon = 5 ml.
- The recipe yields 15 pieces Kalakand in total (10 square pieces and 5 not so square edge pieces).
- Do not stir the chenna briskly. Stirring it gently will guarantee a granular or danedaar texture.
