Indian food

Kalakand

Also called: Kalakand, Калаканд, Malai barfi, Милк-кейк

Milk curdled and then cooked down until it sets grainy rather than smooth; the texture is the whole identity. Cut into squares and left plain, or studded with pistachio.

How it's eaten

Fresh kalakand is moist; if it crumbles dry, it has been sitting.
