BhavnaThere are mangoes everywhere so why not use in Mitahi and enjoy. Kalakand is a very popular Indian dessert made with Fresh Paneer, Condensed milk and garnished with nuts. Kalakand burfi flavor can be enhanced by adding flavors like mango, and other fruit purees.
I love to prepare this sweet during Navratri for the Prasad as it is easy to make. When mangoes are in season, I freeze mango puree to use through the year.
