00:00It is said that whether it is a fast or a festival, some sweets are made.

00:04In this sweet, Kalakand or today's children's favorite milk cake comes at the top.

00:10On a big festival like Diwali, Kalakand is the talk of the town.

00:15Without Kalakand, the worship of Goddess Lakshmi seems incomplete.

00:19By the way, do you know where did all the favorites and popular sweets come from from children to adults?

00:27If not, then let me tell you about the interesting history of Kalakand.

00:32Kalakand's history is associated with freedom.

00:35The story of Kalakand is very interesting.

00:38It started with a coincidence.

00:40It is said that Baba Thakurdas, who lived in Pakistan before independence, was a skilled confectioner.

00:47One day when he was boiling milk, suddenly the milk burst.

00:51Being sad that the milk was ruined, he thought that it should be saved somehow.

00:56And in the same way, a delicious sweet was made by mistake.

01:00Dasji started cooking the burst milk on a low flame.

01:05And was surprised when he saw that grains were falling in the milk.

01:10And its making has become quite unique.

01:13He added a little sugar to it and cooked it more.

01:17After hours of hard work, a new sweet was ready.

01:21Its taste was amazing.

01:24Now it comes to how this sweet got the name Kalakand.

01:28When people tasted this new sweet, they were stunned.

01:32And asked Baba Thakurdas about its name.

01:36Dasji smiled and said,

01:38This is art.

01:40And that's why this sweet got the name Kalakand.

01:43After independence, the Das family settled in Alwar, Rajasthan.

01:48And made Kalakand more popular here.

01:51Even today, the third generation of the Das family is making this traditional sweet.

01:56And is feeding its taste to people in India and abroad.

01:59By the way, let me tell you that Atalji was also very fond of this sweet.

02:03The artists of India's former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee Alwar were so fond.

02:09That they would stop their caravan and eat the Kalakand made by the Das family.

02:14Whenever their caravan passed through Alwar,

02:17They never missed the opportunity to enjoy a delicious sweet.

02:21Today, Thakurdas' Kalakand is spreading its popularity even in countries like Dubai, crossing the borders of India.

02:29By the way, Kalakand is so popular with people.

02:32That in many homes, preparations to make Kalakand are made before Diwali.

02:37So that on Diwali night, it can be enjoyed with the whole family.
