Sandesh:(Bengali Style)
When I was a kid, my grandma kept making sandesh quite often for me, almost every day:) She just split milk intentionally, added some sugar to it and dished out as decadent sweet! No practical errors! Of course its not cooking at all! But that’s what so good about it:)I never understood that, all until I started cooking. In fact, sometimes nothing is everything for me now:)It may sound bit odd…but you see, this sweet is amazingly delicious, very fulfilling, absolutely healthy, perfectly shaped, very low in kilo joules, can be fixed damn quickly and last but not least, its so psychologically associated:)
Ingredients:
Milk 1 litre
Sugar as per taste
Cardamom crushed(I didn’t use them)
Saffron few strands
Lemon juice few spoons.
Method:
In a wide kettle, heat milk. Add lemon juice and split the milk. Now throw away the whey. Retain the solids.
Squeeze out the excess water. Add sugar and saffron. Put them in a non-stick pan and remove the excess moisture slowly. Once its throws up to a fine mass, remove from heat and shape them in desired way.
Serve chilled as a dessert. If you plan to garnish with pistachios, its a terrific idea:)
