Ajmeri Kalakand (Milk Cake)
Product USP:
An artisanal Rajasthani delicacy, Ajmeri Kalakand embodies the slow-cooked charm of traditional mithai making. Known for its distinctive grainy-soft texture and rich, milky sweetness, it is a dessert where simplicity meets indulgence.
History of the Product + Ingredients:
Ajmeri Kalakand traces its roots to Ajmer, Rajasthan—a city steeped in royal culinary traditions. Historically prepared during festivals and special occasions, the recipe revolves around patiently reducing fresh cow milk until thickened, then blending it with hand-curdled paneer, ghee, and subtle aromatics. Our version stays true to heritage by using:
-
Farm-fresh cow milk from Rajasthan’s dairies
-
Freshly made paneer (chhena)
-
Pure desi ghee from Rajasthan
-
Cane sugar from Uttar Pradesh’s sugar mills
-
Aromatic cardamom from Kerala’s spice forests
Shelf Life:
2–3 days at room temperature; refrigeration can extend freshness slightly, but best enjoyed fresh for authentic flavor.
