add the grated or crumbled paneer to this condensed milk mix it very well keep the flame on low stir the mixture often so that it does not stick to the bottom of the pan the kalakand mixture will start thickening as it simmers and begins to cook
when the mixture gets thickened well and looks like one mass, switch off the flame it took me 15 minutes on a low flame depending on the quality of your pan, pan thickness and size, flame intensity it may take 12 to 16 minutes the kalakand mixture should have some moisture and should look dry remove the pan from the flame
add 3/4 tsp cardamom powder stir very well now pour the kalakand mixture in the prepared pan (plate or thali)shake the pan gently so that the mixture spreads evenly you can also level with a spoon or spatula
sprinkle all dry fruits all over the kalakand mixture after it sets, slice the kalakand and serve in case if you cannot slice the kalakand, then don't worry you can just serve it with a spoon like a halwa it still tastes delicious
serve kalakand as a sweet or as a dessert
