Sondesh

Sondesh Recipe – संदेश: is a popular Bengali sweet. Just like peda (पेड़ा), it is also made from milk, but the preparation is different. For peda, you reduce milk until it thickens, while for sandesh, you use paneer made from milk. It is very easy to make. You can use homemade paneer or buy it from the market, as it is easily available at Indian sweet shops.
