Kalakand is that papular Indian sweet made with 2 ingredients. Paneer or Chhena and Sugar. Feel free to name Kalakand as Indian Milk Cake. I’m going to share a very very easy recipe of Kalakand that will take you just less than 15 minutes to prepare compared to the traditional long and lengthy Kalakand recipe.
2 Ingredients and less than 15 minutes required to make this Instant Kalakand. Oh! This is prepared in a Microwave too. And, yes…, you are welcome. 🙂

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
