Rose kalakhand in 4 minutes- microwave

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups Milk Powder Full fat
•  5 tbsp condensed milk
• 150 ml heavy whipping cream
• 2 tbsp plus 1 tsp Rose Syrup
• 1-2 tsp Rose water for dabbing on top

For Garnish

• chopped pistachios / nuts
• Rose petals

Instructions

• Mix all the ingredients in a microwave safe rectangular dish
• Cook in the microwave for 1 minute, stir it
• Place again in the microwave for 1 more minute and stir after removing
• Place again in the microwave for 1 more minute and stir
• Put it back in the microwave for an additional 30 seconds, mix and again for 30 seconds, if needed(by now it should come together and solidify)
• (BE VERY CAREFUL, IT MIGHT BOIL OVER. WATCH THE MICROWAVE, IF IT LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT BOIL OVER,STOP, PAUSE, CONTINUE COOKING)
• Place wax/parchment paper on top and smoothen the top by rubbing the bottom of a flat bowl,glass or cup
• Dab some rose water on top of the kalakand and let it rest for 5-7 minutes
• Use a very sharp knife to cut into squares(Keep dipping knife in very hot water, wiping the knife and cutting to get clean pieces)
• Garnish with silver warq/edible silver leaf(optional),chopped pistachios and dry rose petals

Notes

The kalakand should be cooked in increments of 1 minute and stirred after each minute. It took me a total of 3 minutes 30 seconds. After 3 minutes use your judgement and cook in increments of 30 seconds. The edges cook first, so its important to stir after each minute.Microwaves vary and it can easily take 1-2 minutes extra.I used a 1.4 liter/6 cups rectangular dish  to cook and set the kalakand. If you don’t have a rectangular pan, cook in a microwave safe bowl and once the mix solidifies, transfer quickly to a flat thali or pan. I have used Rose sharbat, you can use any brand.If You don't have Rose Sharbat, add a few drops of Rose essence/ and let your kalakhand be natural colour. Please  don't use food colours as they're carcinogenic- causes cancer.
After cooking the ingredients, can also make laddoos or shape them like modaks. Grease hands and while the dough is warm, quickly shape into laddoos or modaks.
