Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: Bengali
Serves: 12 pcs
Ingredients
  • Milk Powder: 1 cup
  • Cream: ¼ cup
  • Cardamom (green) powder: ½ tsp Or few drops of cardamom essence
  • Ghee (clarified butter): few drops (for greasing moulds)
  • Pistachios: 4-6 for garnishing
  • Sugar if required (I did not used any)
Instructions
  1. Take milk powder, cardamom and cream in a clean & dry glass bowl and mix together with a spatula until a coarse mixture is produced.
  2. Microwave the mixture for 30 secs at High of your microwave (900W in my case).
  3. Take out the bowl and stir the mixture again for 3-5 secs.
  4. Microwave for another 30 sec at High.
  5. Stir the mixture again until it leaves the side of the bowl and forms a dough.
  6. Knead the dough with your palms now like regular roti dough until it smoothens. Once it stops sticking to the fingers cover the dough with cling film to avoid air contact.
  7. Grease moulds with ghee and take small portion of dough at a time in your palm and roll.
  8. Press mixture on mould and shape like shown in the video. Remove excess sandesh from mould and keep with rest of the dough. Keep the bowl covered all the time. (see the video for reference)
  9. Now gently remove the sandesh from mould and keep on a previously greased plate. I used butter paper to reduce usage to ghee.
  10. Make rest of the it by following same procedure. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
