Dessert recipe after ages...say hello to the Bong mush - Sandesh!! :D
Did you know in Bangladesh, Sandesh (aka Shondesh) is often termed as Pranahara? (literally meaning something/someone who steals your heart). Obvious si baat hai :) Taste hai hi itna awesome!!
Not only this, Sandesh has other yum variants like:
- Parijat
- Rose
- Cream
- Dilkhush
- Abar Khabo
- Chocolate Talsansh
- Makha
Note: I don't know the references of any of these (except rose, cream & chocolate), so don't ask & embarrass me :P
Anyway, let's gather the following first:
- 150 gm paneer
- 1/2 cup grated khoya
- 6 tbsp sugar/jaggery or gur
Note: You can use either sugar or gur. And if you ask me, gur sandesh melts into your mouth quicker than the sugar one ;)
- 8 almonds, shredded lengthwise
- 6 cardamoms, crushed
- 7 strands of saffron/kesar
Note: The above-mentioned ingredients will make 8 pieces. If you want to make more, double the quantity of each ingredient.
1. Sabse pehle, blend the paneer, khoya & sugar/gur, till they become smooth. You can do this either in a blender, or use the back of a katori to mash the mixture.
2. Then, mix the cardamoms to this, and make sure that the layer is 1/2 inch thick. Refrigerate till this sets in.
3. Finally, decorate with almonds & kesar, cut into squares or diamonds or balls :P or any other shape you fancy, and then serve!!
