Notes

Resting the chenna and sugar mixture is crucial. This helps the sugar to melt and mix properly.
I mix liquid and powder milk because it gives a nice texture and consistency to the kheer. It also thickens faster.
Mix milk powder with liquid milk on a low flame because mixing on a high flame may create lumps.
Mix the chenna and sugar mixture again after resting. This ensures proper infusion of the melted sugar.
I recommend setting the kalakand mixture while it is still hot. This will help in giving the right shape.
