Discussion of taste far and wide
Vikas Seth, the director of Kanhaiya Mishthan, who was operated for the last three generations in Ranchi-Patna Road, the main market of Jhumri Tilaiya, told in a special conversation with Local 18 that Kalakand has also remained a medium to increase the sweetness of mutual relations for years. After entering the mouth, the creamy and granular saffron Kalakand dissolves in the mouth and gives people wonderful taste with less sweetness. He said that whether it is to please the boss or to welcome the top leaders of political parties, or talk about marriage, people definitely take Kalakand here. Because after tasting it, people cannot live without being impressed by the offender and even in the next meeting, people also request to bring Kalakand. The people of Koderma living in other countries including Dubai, South Africa take Kalakand with them abroad and whoever tasted it once becomes completely crazy about it.
He told that it takes 15 to 20 minutes to prepare Kalakand. Milk is coined on low and high flame as per the need. After this, by adding a small amount of alum, it is made granular and then put it in the tray and left to cool down. About 4 kg of Kalakand is prepared from about 15 kg of milk. After cooling, garnishing is done with saffron, almonds, pistachios. After this, cut into small pieces and it is made available in a box according to the demand of the customer. He told that Kalakand is completely safe for 72 hours during cold days. Due to milk made from milk, it cannot be stored for long.
Four flavors are available
Vikas Seth said that at present there are four types of Kalakand available. In which the sale of white, saffron, jaggery Kalakand and sugar free Kalakand is done on a large scale daily. Soon people will also get the taste of Kalakand of chocolate flavor. Among them, saffron Kalakand has the highest sales. Saada Kalakand, Kesariya Kalakand 480 kg, Sugar Free Kalakand, Good Kalakand 520 kg is sold.
He said that many times people tried their best to take the artisans who made saffron kalakand in Koderma to another district and make Kesariya Kalakand. But the taste and form of Koderma could not be found. He told that the main reason behind this is the atmosphere of Koderma, water and milk here. He told that now many people traveling by train and bus via Koderma contact Google through the available number and order Kalakand, after which their staff conveys Kalakand to a safe passenger.
