Aarong Dairy Kalojam
600 gmAarong Dairy's Kalojam is a traditional Bangladeshi sweet delicacy, available in a 600g tin. This dessert is crafted from whole milk, channa (a form of curdled milk), sugar, wheat flour, food color (E-124), and potable water.
Preparation Process:
While the exact manufacturing process used by Aarong Dairy isn't publicly disclosed, Kalojam is traditionally prepared by:
Preparing the Dough: Combining channa with a small amount of wheat flour to form a smooth dough.
Shaping: Dividing the dough into small portions and rolling them into oval or round shapes.
Frying: Deep-frying these dough balls until they achieve a dark brown, almost black, color.
Soaking: Immersing the fried balls in a sugar syrup, allowing them to absorb the sweetness and become soft and juicy.
Usage:
Kalojam is typically enjoyed as a dessert or festive treat. It's often served at room temperature and can be garnished with nuts or served alongside other sweets during special occasions and celebrations.
Benefits:
As a dairy-based sweet, Kalojam provides:
Energy: High sugar content offers a quick energy boost.
Calcium and Protein: Derived from milk and channa, contributing to dietary calcium and protein intake.
However, due to its high sugar content, it's advisable to consume Kalojam in moderation, especially for individuals monitoring their sugar intake.
Storage Recommendations:
After Opening: Once the tin is opened, it's best to consume the sweets on the same day.
Refrigeration: If not consumed immediately, store the remaining Kalojam in the refrigerator.
Enhancing Softness: To increase the softness of the sweets, pour warm water over them and let them sit for 10 minutes.
