Kartar, Lallu's older brother, badgered me constantly for kalakand, a kind of milk pudding, and sulked when I failed to oblige.

The best sources of calcium are dairy products including milk, cheese, yogurt, cream soups, and pudding.

My own experience of Bird's nest was in a pudding called Bird's nest and almond soup - the nest was dissolved in almond milk which was served as a sweet soup.
