Sandesh is a very popular Bengali sweet that is usually made out of chenna (cottage cheese). They are either baked, steamed or pan stir fried and then shaped into desired shapes. These days Sandesh are found in various flavours too.

I would like to share 'Paan & Gulkand Sandesh'. This is an instant version, prepared with Amul Paneer that can be made in a jiffy. So serve these amazing sweets garnished with chopped almonds as an after meal dessert.
