Bengali Sandesh
Sandesh is another signature dessert of Bengali cuisine. It takes just 10 minutes to prepare sandesh if you have your chenna/paneer ready. There are many variations of sandesh available. But the classic recipe consists of only chenna and sugar. It is offered to goddess Durga during Durga puja. In my home, Sandesh is offered to Lakshmi goddess on every Thursday. So, this dessert is prepared in our home every Thursday since ages. My grandmother used to prepare it and now is prepared by my mother. This is how I have inherited this classical recipe from them.
