Kalakand mixture

Keep stirring oftenly and when it is nearly done add the food colour and chopped Pistachios and continue stirring until all the moisture gets evaporated and the mixture resembles koya. Reduce the flame and stir for 1 or 2 minutes until the mixture leaves the pan and remove from the fire.
