Making this kalakand is really easy. I make this sweet with milk and homemade paneer but you can use condensed milk instead of milk and sugar too.
When weight is put on top of that chena and it is allowed to set, then it becomes paneer and used in several Indian recipes like paneer butter masala and kadai paneer!

Instructions:
1. Wash and soak the urad dal for 2 hours or 4 to 5 hours
note :- 2 hours is enough, its easily broken, So I put only 2 hours.
2. Drain the dal and blend it till smooth paste, use less than 2 to 3 tablespoon of water if required. Remove the mixture into the mixing bowl.
3. Now add all remaining ingredients into the urad dal paste except oil, mix it/beat it well with spoon till light soft batter.
4. Heat the oil for frying in deep pan, once hot enough, drop small small balls into the hot oil with your hand or spoon and fry them until all sides becomes golden brown.
5. Remove Pakodas on absorbent paper, use same process for remaining batter and make Pakodas.
6. Your Urad Dal Pakoda is ready to serve with green chutney, ketchup or hot tea.
Tips:
• Do not add too much water while blending; if mixture become thin, pakoda will soak more oil. • You can air fry or fry them in appe pan if you don’t want to do deep fry. • You can add rice flour instead of suji/semolina.
