SANDESH RECIPE | PANEER DESSERT RECIPES | EASY DIWALI SWEETS

         I have not tasted sandesh anywhere else,just tried for the first time and tasted. With very less ingredients,you can enjoy this yummy milk sweet!! 
     

Ingredients:

Full cream milk	1 litre
Lemon juice	From 1 lemon
Water	2 tblsp
Sugar(powdered)	7 tblsp
Corn flour	2 tsp
Pistachio	2 tblsp
Green food colour	few dorps

Method:

1. Boil milk. Dilute lemon juice with water and add it to the boiling milk and keep stirring till the milk curdles completely.
2. Strain the paneer/Chhena in a muslin cloth(I used one of my dupattas). Hang it for 1/2 hour or till all the water drains. I just squeeze excess water now and then in the 1/2 hour
3. Grind this chhena with sugar and corn flour in mixer until smooth.
4. Take a non stick pan and heat this mixture on very low heat for 8-10 mins. Take care not to change the paneer colour. I added the green colour in this stage,while heating the mixture.
5. When the mixture turns dry and thick remove from fire and transfer to a bowl. Add the powdered pistachios and the green colour.
6. Knead well and make into desired shapes. Decorate with pistachios. Keep refrigerated till serving time.

I just made it round and simple,you can try different moulds and even make interesting shapes!!

Notes:

Tastes best when served chilled … Adding corn flour and pistachio powder is optional. I have not tried though without those two ,but saw in another cook book without those.
