ABOUT Nolen Gurer Korapak Sandesh RECIPE

Sandesh is a very popular Bengali sweet that is a must-have during my yearly visit to Kolkata. As it is unavailable here, I try to make it in my kitchen on few special occasions. This one is particularly made of nolen gur (date palm jaggery) in sandesh moulds that I bought along with me. Country.....UAE.

Ingredients Serving: 6

1 litre milk
juice of a lime mixed with some water
1/2 cup nolen gur (Date Palm Jaggery), grated
1/4 tsp. cardamom powder
little ghee to grease the moulds

Instructions

Bring the milk to a boil. Add the lime water and keep stirring. The milk will start to curdle. Transfer onto a muslin cloth and place it on a colander so as to drain all the water.
After 1-2 hours collect the paneer and mix together with the jaggery till smooth. You can also blend in the mixie. Transfer to a non-stick pan and add the cardamom powder.
Keep stirring continuously on a low flame till it becomes thick and the colour changes to a little dark colour. Grease the moulds with some ghee.
Take a small portion of the paneer-jaggery mix and place on a mould by gently pressing it. Slowly demould it and place them on a serving plate.
Make similar sandesh following the same method. Serve as and when required or as an after-meal dessert.
