Steps

1 hour

1

Boil milk and reduce it to one third by simmering it on a low heat and keep stirring it occasionally in order to prevent it from burning. After reduced, add Lemon juice mixed in little water to this. Mix well and add Sugar.
2

Keep stirring it until it thickens. Let it become a bit browned up on a low heat only. It so happens as the Sugar caramelises. Add a teaspoon of Ghee and slivered Almonds and Pistachios as it changes to a lovely brown colour. It usually thickens in no time but even if it has not, no need to worry, as it thickens and solidifies once cooled. Grease a dish and remove the Ajmeri Kalakand onto it. Leave it for an hour or two either outside or refrigerate it well covered.
3

Cut into desired shapes and serve garnished with sliced almonds and pistachios. The slight brown colour it gets is due to the prolong cooking and the caramelisation of the sugar added. It can very well be made at home just like the confectioners.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
