BM #113 Week 3 Day 3 -
Sandesh is probably the easiest sweets made by Bengalis. I started to make some other dessert but ended up with crumbled paneer and so this Sandesh happened.
With this traditional sweet from West Bengal, I conclude this series of traditional sweets.
Ingredients -
Homemade Paneer crumbled and kneaded 1/4 cup
Sugar 2 Tbsp
Cardamom powder 1/4 tsp
Crushed Almonds 1 Tbsp (divided use)
Method Of Preparation -
Whip the crumbled paneer and sugar to get a smooth mixture.
In a heated pan, cook the above mixture for about 3-4 minutes until the mixture comes together as a single mass. Mix in the cardamom powder and crushed almonds.
Remove from heat. After a few minutes, pinch small portions and roll into small discs. Press in the crushed almonds as a garnish and allow them to cool.
Preparation Time 20 minutes
Makes 4-5
Those sandesh look just perfect and absolutely delicious. One of the yummiest Bengali desserts.
That is a delicious treat. I would gobble up all by myself if I make a small portion. :)
