Kalakand

Kalakand :
This is a quick and easy sweet but Very tasty.
It tastes like " pal kova". If you are from Tamil Nadu you will know that.
I missed this sweet so much and was glad when I learnt it.

Ingredients :
Ricotta cheese - 15 oz
Condensed milk - 14 oz
Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp
For garnishing, sliced pistachio and almonds.

Method :

1. Take square or rectangular bowl which is microwave safe.
2. Mix ricotta cheese and condensed milk and mix well.
3. Make sure there is no lumps. Don't use hand mixer and make it a paste. Just mix it with spoon.
4. This mixture should be put in microwave in intervals and mixed in between.
5. First put it in microwave for 5 minutes.
6. Take and mix it. Make sure to wipe and mix the edges too.

8. Take it and mix well.
9. Repeat the same thing for 10 minutes in the interval of 2 minutes.
10. Make sure to mix in between.
11. Check if it is in nice solid form. If not put it in microwave for 1 or more minutes.
