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.
