sandesh recipe। how to make Bengali sweet sandesh

sandesh recipe। how to make Bengali sweet sandesh recipe with detailed photos. Sandesh is very famous sweet in West Bengal . Sweet plays an important role in  Bengali Cuisine. We Bengalis call sweet as ‘Mishti’. Almost all Bengalis have a sweet tooth. Though I do not like to eat sweet, instead of eating it I love to make it. Sandesh or Sondesh (Bengali ponunciation ) is an authentic Bengali delicacy. In Bengal , we make sweet specially with chhena or sweetened cottage cheese or sometimes mixed chena with mewa or khoya . First of all Chhena is made by cutting down boiling cow’s milk along with lemon juice. Second Chhena is strained through a muslin cloth covered strainer and the excess water is drained out . Mewa (also known as Khoya/ Khoa) is a evaporated milk, made by slowly reducing  full fat milk until all that remain is a mass of slightly milk solids.

 Meaning Of sandesh

I am not sure from where the name of this sweet came , therfore I can guess that the name of this sweet came from the word ‘ Sandesh’ .  In Bengali language , sandesh means message . It is our tradition to send sweets as gift or going someone’s house with some sweets . I spent my entire childhood eating a variety of Bengali sweet in  West Bengal . Now I stay in Bangalore , far away from my native . Here It is very difficult of getting Bengali sweets easily , therefore  I try to   make different sweet at home to fulfill sweet craving of my family .

Ingredients

  • Milk -1 litre (for chena)
  • 500 millilitre (for khoya or mewa )
  • Sugar – 3/4 th cup ( if you prefer more sweetness in your sweet , you can increase the measurement of sugar )
  • Lemon Juice -1 lemon ( if required , add more lemon juice )
  • Ghee-1teaspoon
  • Green Cardamom – 4 (powdered)

Instructions

How to make Chena/Chana

  • Take a heavy bottomed vessel , pour milk in it.
  • Bring the milk to boil and keep stirring to avoid burning of milk from bottom.
  • Once the milk comes to boil , simmer the gas , start adding lemon juice and keep stirring ( if required , add more lemon juice).
  • Cook for few seconds until the milk solids get separate from the water. This water is called whey water, it is good for health . You can use it for making any curry or kneading your roti dough. Switch off the heat.
  • Pour this curdled milk to the already lined muslin cloth or thin cotton cloth over a strainer, squeeze out all the whey water then rinse cheena or cottage cheese under the tap water as much as possible. If you do not rinse the chena properly, you will get the smell of lemon while having sandesh .
  • Now hang the cloth covered chhena with tap for 30 minutes . Then remove it from tap. It will help to squeeze more water from chhena .
  • After that, remove the cloth from the chhena. The chhena should not have too much moisture nor be too dry.
  • Take the chhena in a wider plate. Knead it well with your palms for 8 to 10 minutes to get smooth texture. This kneading process is very important and it decides the texture of sandesh.

How to Make Khoya or Mewa

  • Heal milk in a heavy bottomed pan on high flame, when the milk will start boiling .
  • Simmer the gas and keep boiling it on low flame till it reduces to ¼ the volume or the milk solids become lumpy .
  • Using spatula, scrape the milk solids from the sides and add these to the bowl .
  • Switch off the gas and cover the bowl . Let the mewa be cool at room temperature .

How To Make Sandesh

  • Place a thick bottomed non stick pan on stove on a low flame .
  • Add chena , with continuous stirring cook on a low flame for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add khoya or mewa , sugar and green cardamom ( powdered ) , mix properly, continuous stirring on low flame until lthe moisture would begin to dry up, remove the pan from heat and allow the mixture to cool.
  • Grease all moulds with ghee, and also rub your two palms with ghee.
  • Take small portion of the sandesh mixture on a flat surface, knead it with your fingers and put them in the sandesh mould then pressing from top and sides to give a perfect shape of sandesh.
  • Demould sandesh.
  • Do this with remaining sandesh mixture using different shaped moulds . If you do not have mould then you can give any shape according to your choice.
  • Sandesh is ready to serve .
