Homemade Sandesh Sweet Recipe
- Begin by soaking almond and pistachio slivers along with saffron in warm milk, reserving them for topping. Drain any excess milk before use.
- In a pan, combine paneer and milk powder, cooking over medium heat while stirring continuously for 3–4 minutes.
- Allow the mixture to cool before proceeding.
- Mix in sugar, essence, and cardamom powder until a smooth dough forms.
- Lightly grease moulds with ghee to prevent sticking.
- Place a portion of the topping mixture into each mould.
- Press the prepared paneer mixture onto the topping in each mould, shaping as desired.
- Chill the moulds for a few hours, then carefully unmold the sandesh sweet and serve.
Special Tip
For a richer flavour, let the paneer mixture rest in the fridge overnight before shaping and chilling.
