Green Peas Kalakand


           Kalakand is a traditional and a very popular Indian dessert that is generally served during festivals, special occasions and parties. It is grainy in texture and is commonly found in many sweet shops. It is very easy to prepare if you are going in for the store bought paneer.   

           Tried green peas kalakand which is a healthy version with the goodness of paneer and green peas. So do give it a try and impress your loved ones with this new creation. Garnish as desired and enjoy them chilled or at room temperature. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare it. 











  • 1 cup green peas (I used frozen ones), blended (makes 8)
  • 200 gms. paneer (I used Amul Paneer)
  • 2 tbsp. milk powder
  • 4-5 tbsp. powdered sugar or to taste 
  • 1/4 tsp. cardamom powder
  • 1 tbsp. ghee
  • pinch pf salt
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 tsp. kewra water
  • 2 tbsp. chopped pistachios
  • 2 tbsp. chopped almonds
  • 1 tsp. dry rose petals








           In a non-stick pan, add the blended peas and stir fry till dry. Keep aside. 

          In the same pan add all the ingredients (except almonds and half of the pistachios) including the green peas. Mix and stir on a low flame till it starts to leave the sides of the pan. 

          Transfer to a greased plate and garnish with the chopped almonds, remaining pistachios and dry rose petals. Allow it to cool and refrigerate for some time.
