Milk-burfi kalakand with grainy texture, the Alwar sweet that travels badly and tastes perfect. Festival sweetness, made the slow way. Serve at room temperature, cut small — sweetness needs no size.

Ingredients

Salta pinch
Ghee3 tbsp
Saffrona pinch, soaked in warm milk
Sugar1 tsp
Green Cardamom4, ground
Khoa (Mawa)200 g
Pistachios1/2 cup, chopped

Instructions

1
Set out every ingredient measured and ready; Indian sweets move fast once the heat is on.
2
Put the khoa (mawa) and sugar on a steady medium flame and commit to stirring — sweets test your patience.
3
Keep going until the mass pulls away from the pan and glistens; the colour should deepen a shade.
4
Add the saffron, cardamom and any nuts or saffron; fold through and cook two minutes more.
5
Tip into a greased tray, level the top, sprinkle nuts, and let it set before cutting into diamonds.

Chef's tip

If the masala sticks, add water a tablespoon at a time rather than drowning the dish.
