Notes
1. Use a heavy bottom pan to avoid burning.
2. Paneer should be soft and fresh for a good taste and texture. Prefer homemade paneer instead of market bought.
3. I have crumbled the paneer with hands to give it a grainy texture but if you want it smooth textured, then grind it once in the mixer grinder.
4. Stir the mixture continuously to avoid sticking and burning at the bottom.
5. Do not overcook the mixture Kalakand will become dry.
