Sandesh Recipe sweet is very soft as if it is going to fall when we lift it. I learned this recipe from my Bengali friend. It can be easily prepared(only 3 ingredients),can be chilled and served as dessert.
In a big sauce pot, add milk and bring it to rolling boil.
Add lemon juice and switch off the flame.
Stir continuously until, milk curdles and whey water separates.
Strain and keep the strainer under running water. This removes the lemon's tart flavor and taste.
Allow paneer to cool down to the room temperature.
Then knead paneer well, either in hand or in the blender. Paneer has to become like a paste with no lumps on it. The consistency of paneer should be like thick.
Take equal amount of sugar.
Over medium heat, in a pan add sugar, paneer dough, and cardamom powder. In mild flame cook this mixture for 4 minutes, or until it leaves the pan.
Cook it until the mixture starts leaving the pan.
In a tray, set the mixture to 1" thickness and leave it for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle almond slices for decoration, and then with the knife cut them into pieces for serving.
Notes
This is the basic preparation. Sandesh can also be prepared with your choices of food color, food essence, molds.
