Kalakand
Product USP:
An Alwar-born classic that has charmed the entire nation, Kalakand is prized for its unique grainy-soft texture and delicate sweetness. Its slow-cooked preparation preserves the natural richness of milk, offering a balance of nostalgia and refined taste in every bite.
History of the Product + Ingredients:
Kalakand’s origins trace back to the royal city of Alwar in Rajasthan, where it was created as a delectable way to preserve milk. Over time, it became a festive staple across India, often enjoyed during Diwali, weddings, and family celebrations. Our version stays true to its roots, crafted from:
-
Paneer from Uttar Pradesh’s lush dairy farms for a creamy base
-
Full-fat milk reduced to perfection for the signature texture
-
Cardamom from Kerala’s spice hills for aromatic depth
-
Cane sugar from Bihar’s fertile plains for balanced sweetness
-
Pistachios or almonds for a luxurious garnish
Shelf Life:
Stays fresh for 2–3 days at room temperature in an airtight container.
Description:
We slowly cook fresh paneer and full-fat milk until they thicken into a rich, grainy fudge, then blend in aromatic cardamom for a warm fragrance. Each piece is topped with slivered pistachios or almonds, adding a light crunch to its melt-in-the-mouth body. Kalakand is a celebration sweet—perfect as a festive gift, a temple offering, or a special family dessert—bringing together texture, aroma, and taste in perfect harmony.
