DOUBLE DECKER KALAKAND | Sweets & Savouries
Sweets are those delicacies that make a definite appearance in every Indian festival and function, be it Diwali, a housewarming party or a wedding function. And kalakand is one of the most common sweets at these occasions. Yet, most people prefer to order them from sweet shops rather than preparing them at home. Maybe they believe it to be a hard to prepare sweet. Yet, I believe that kalakand's are one of the easiest and simplest sweets to be made. But, why settle for a simple kalakand? We are here with a simple recipe, not to the ordinary kalakand, but a double-decker kalakand! After all, nothing wrong with indulging your chocoholic kids, family and friends' obsession on this special occasion!

Ingredients:
Milk - 1 litre
Paneer - 200 gms finely grated
Khoa (Unsweetened) - 200 gms
