Now for making the curds out of milk, add 2 tsp of vinegar or lemon juice. You will see the milk will start curdling.

  • Now transfer the Kesar kalakand into a plate or mould, greased with some ghee. With the help of spoon or spatula spread the kalakand into 3/4 inch thickness. Garnish it with some chopped dry fruits and tuck them with your palm Refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours and then cut the pieces into the desired shape.
