Kesar Rose Kalakand using Alum powder

Kalakand is a delicious and favourite dessert made with split milk which is easy and healthy too. There is minimum ghee or oil added and sugar quantity can be adjusted as per taste. I have used alum powder to split the milk instead of lemon or vinegar in very little quantity. The result was yummy. #GoldenApron23 #Alumpowder #alum #phitkari #milk #paneer #dessert #sweets #celebration #festivals #bengali #diwali #dussehra #navratri #holi #ganeshchaturthi #ugadi #gudhipadwa
