Kunda

Kunda is Belgaum in North Karnataka Sweet and most popular sweet after Mysorepak, Kuda was the name of his daughter, so he names this gorgeous sweet as Kunda, well one day Owner Jakku left the milk boiling and forgot about it. He returned only when the milk had nearly dried up and was reduced to a brown paste. He added some sugar to it, and it tasted lovely. That is how this terrific sweet was formed.
Belgaum Kunda is North Karnataka prepare by reducing and curdling milk and caramelized sugar. which is delicious, I am a big fan of this beautiful dessert, I am pretty sure there are many more lovers out there.
Kunda is one of my favourite sweet, and never miss to have whenever I go for vacation, in Middle East it’s not easily available, so plan to treat my self by prepare at home it is very simple to prepare but need a bit of patience, to prepare all ingredients are handy, milk, sugar, curd, nutmeg/cardamom powder, semolina ghee last but not least patience & passion, it’s incredible and granulated like soya kheema.
