What you will need:
Full cream milk: 1 litre
Lemon juice: 1
Sugar: ½ cup
Elaichi powder: 1 tsp
Milk powder: 2 tbsp

How to prepare:
• To make the perfect sandesh you need to make fresh chenna or paneer from scratch.
• Here I have taken 1 litre of full cream milk and boil it.
• Once it starts to boil I will switch off the gas and add 1 lemon juice and stir it lightly and leave it.
• After 5 minutes you can see that the milk has curdled and my fresh chenna is prepared.
• I will now take a clean piece of cloth and pour the chenna to drain the whey.
• I will now wash it with water to remove the sour taste of lemon.
• Once the whey is drained, take the chenna in the cloth and squeeze it for the whey to drain completely.
• Now keep it hanging for at least 40 -45 minutes.
• In the meantime let's get the mango puree ready.
• For this I have taken two dussheri mangoes, you can use any type of mangoes of your choice but remember that it should be sweet and without fibres.
• I am using 1 and a half mango to prepare the sandesh.
• I have scooped the mango pulp and it's now time to prepare the mixture.
• Its almost 40 minutes now and my chenna is also perfectly ready.
• Just remove it from the cloth and crumble it a bit.
• Now Take a mixture grinder and add the, mango pulp, chenna, 1/2 cup of sugar (you can adjust this depending on the sweetness of the mango) and 1 tsp of elaichi powder.
• This elaichi powder is totally optional, you can avoid using it if you love the flavour of mango only.
• Now blend it to a fine paste.
• Now take a table spoon of ghee and heat it in a pan.
• Reduce the flame and now add the mixture and cook for about 5 -7 minutes while stirring continuously.
• Now add 2 tbsp of milk powder.
• This adds some extra taste to the sandesh but in case you don’t have milk powder in your pantry you can skip this step.
• Keep cooking for another 10 minutes on low flame until the mixture is dry.
• You can check the consistency like take a little mixture and roll it between your fingers to make a small ball.
• It should hold the shape.
• So once you reach this stage switch off the gas and let the mixture cool.
• This will take about 15 to 20 minutes.
• My mixture is perfectly ready and its now time to prepare the sandesh.
• I have some sandesh moulds in case you don’t have these moulds you can simply make lemon-sized balls out of the mixture and decorate it with sliced pistas.
• Take a little quantity of the mixture and place it on the mould and press it from all the sides until it is evenly spread.
• Don’t make it very thin as the sandesh might break while demoulding.
• Now slowly demould it and here is your perfect mango sandesh.
• Refrigerate it for an hour and serve chilled.
