Bengali sandesh is always the best Indian sweet for me, please share image also
Prepare Chenna: Bring milk to boil over medium heat.
When it comes to rolling boil, reduce flame to low. Add lemon juice gradually while stirring continuously. Within 1 or 2 minutes, milk solid and why (liquid portion) will start to separate.
When it separates completely transfer it to a large sieve having a muslin cloth lined over it. Rinse chenna (paneer) under running water to remove residual lemony taste.
Tie prepared chenna in a muslin cloth.
Squeeze it gently to drain water and hang it for 20 minutes. Do not hang it for a longer time otherwise it will become dry.
Preparing Sandesh: After draining water, untie it and transfer chenna to a plate. It should be moist. If it is too dry Sandesh will turn crumbly.
Knead it like dough for around five minutes or until smooth.
Add sugar and cardamom powder.
Knead again for around 3 to 4 minutes to mix well.
Transfer prepared mixture to a heavy bottomed non stick pan.
Stir it continuously and cook it over low flame for 5 minutes until mixture turns little dry but is still moist. Do not overcook otherwise it will become crumbly.
Turn off the flame and let it cool for few minutes. When it is still warm knead well until smooth.
Divide mixture into 15 small portions and make round shaped balls from it. Take each ball and press it gently between your palms and flatten it like thick Pattie.
For garnishing place few pieces of chopped pistachios or a raisin and press it with your thumb.
You can also use molds to give it a desired shape.
Place it in the refrigerator and chill it for at least an hour before serving.
Consume it within two days.
