Ingredients
(makes 8)
- Chenna 1 cup/150 gms
- Sugar ¼ cup
Method of preparation
- Rub the chenna in between your palms or with fingers thoroughly. We need smooth chenna. This rubbing process takes about 5-7 minutes, depending on the quality of the chenna.
- Add sugar and knead well.
- In a non stick wok, cook chenna sugar mixture on low heat by constantaly stirring it. Cook until the chenna mixture leaves the sides on the pan. It takes about 7-8 minutes to cook it. Let it cool.

- I have garnished the Sandesh with powdered cardamom and saffron.
All time favorite Sandesh is ready to serve.
