So without much ado, let me share the Instant Kalakand recipe. I have used Ricotta Cheese in this recipe. And if you don’t have Ricotta available to you, then use soft homemade paneer. There is absolutely no difference in taste.

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups ricotta cheese or soft paneer
1 cup condensed milk (milkmaid)
1 TBSP rose water
1 TBSP cardamom powder
2 TBSP of crushed cashew, edible rose petals
Silver bark to decorate (optional)

METHOD:

Mix the cheese and condensed milk well. Make sure there are no lumps
Microwave in a deep microwavable dish for 2 minutes. Take it out of the microwave and mix the cardamom powder and rose water. Give it a good mix
Put the bowl back in the microwave and Microwave again for 3 minutes and mix the batter with a wooden spatula. By this time, the mixture will be looking grainy
Keep microwaving for 2 minutes till you see the texture like this. You will know its ready when you take a small amount on your palm and it does not stick

Pour the mixture on a grease flat plate and sprinkle the crushed cashew and rose petal mixture and refrigerate for a couple hours
Cut into pieces and serve

I’m scrappy, weird and goofy. I’m a snob when it comes to a LOT of things.., Mainly – coffee, wine and chocolates. I laugh loud and yell louder. I run fast, but walk slow. I love walking long walks with a hot mug of coffee held tight between my hands. I have lonely eyes and a kind heart. I forgive but rarely forget. I remember the silliest of things and forget important matters. I love to run, read, cook and entertain. I draw inspirations from anything and everything aesthetic. There are numerous people who have and still continue to enrich my life in many good ways. I will remain indebted to them – Always. My dad is my biggest fan when it comes to cooking. I could see his eyes light up every time I serve something. My mom’s agility and affectionate nature that reflects on her food is something I’m still trying to master.

Travel fascinates me amongst other things. Leave me in Venice and I would get lost in its timeless beauty – The canals. The piazzas. The art. The espresso. Leave me in NYC and I would tirelessly walk the length and breadth of the city (after all, There is always something open 24 hours a day).

Through this blog, I am hoping to bring in my passion and love for a few things – Cooking, Travel, Kids, Coffee, Clothes and in the interim learn more myself. Hope I am able to do justice to my PASSION.
