Ingredients Required: Cow milk 0.5 ltr, strawberries big 5 vertically sliced with about 3mm width, powdered sugar/ bhura 1 tbsp, cardamom powder 1 tsp, citric acid 1 tsp to make paneer


Preparation Time: 20 min

Recipe:

1.      Bring the milk to boil and add citric acid while still on gas and stirring continuously to avoid overflow (amateurs’ better use big utensil to make paneer) Sieve the output to separate paneer and the water. Leave it for 5-10 minutes and press it to ensure the whey leaves the paneer. Now, to make the paneer or cottage cheese soft, take it in a platter and then press or massage it with palm till there is consistency (can be checked by forming balls). Add sugar and cardamom to this and again mix it well! The sandesh or chhena is ready.

2.      Take a slice of the strawberry. Place sufficient chhena on it to form an equal width’s layer as shown in the pic above. Do it for all the slices. Keep a napkin to wipe your hands regularly to avoid spreading the color of strawberry to chhena.

3.      Garnish it per your wish!

Tips:
Strawberry can be replaced with other sweet n sour fruits like mango, pineapple or other berries as well

  3. Of course, you can easily give desired shapes to the sandesh and garnish with dry fruits.
