Notes: 

• You can use the store brought paneer but keep in mind its fresh.
• Use full fat milk or paneer for better result.
• While measuring the paneer/chena make sure it is tightly packed.
• You can also make the chena a night before.
• You can adjust the amount of condensed milk to adjust the sweetness you like.
• You can use homemade condensed milk ,I already have recipe for that.
• Instead of cardamom you can try using rose or vanilla essence for flavouring or even experiment with butter scotch or orange also.
• Do not over cook the kalakand, it should have soft and moist texture.
• Once done keep refrigerated and consume within 4-5 days.
