There are mangoes everywhere so why not use in Mitahi and enjoy. Traditional Kalakand mithai with a twist.

    • 1 cup of skimmed milk
    • 1 tbsp of milk powder

    • 1 silver varq for garnishing.

    Directions

    1. In a non stick pan add paneer and condensed milk.
    2. Stir continuously and keep it is low heat.
    3. When the mixture turns thick add mango pulp.
    4. Stir in so that it is mixed well.
    5. If the mixture is tough to stir add on the milk now.
    6. Add cardamom powder.
    7. Cover the lid and let it simmer till it turns real thick mixture.
    8. Pour the mixture in deep pan or 2 inch tray.
    9. Garnish with chopped pistachios and let it cool down.
    10. Now cover the silver varq carefully on whole mithai.
    11. Cut in bite size pieces and enjoy.
    12. Share homemade mithai with your neighbors and family members.

    What is your problem Vicky? Saleem is right why are you so against Chitra? Please behave yourself and dont pass any bad comments from now on. I am 50+ years old and have seen the World, all her recipes seem to be genuine and even she post pictures, like some people dont and just copy the recipe and post it here. If you are so against her then dont post any bad comments or dont speak on behalf of whole world. Hope you will end this now. Cheers Tina

    Hi Saleem and everyone, I could not resist your recipe, thanks to you I tried making this one. But wanted to change a little bit and make it different, as they say cooking should be creative. Living here far from home makes you crave for Indian mitahi's specially. I bought all of the stuff from a local indian store. I hope everyone likes it. Do try it once. It is so yummy. Chitra
