Rose Sandesh

This is the best combination that came up in my mind as the rose represents love and one of the historical symbolism for paan is delight and appreciation. Betel leaf was used in garland by Goddess Sita for Lord Hanuman when he reached Lanka.

We women are known to spread love and delight wherever we go. Thus this Rose Sandesh delicacy is my little dedication to Shilpi Tandon, Madhumita Bishnu, Neha Dua and rather all the women out there not only on cookpad but the world and it's time to celebrate one dedicated day to us !

Steps

30 mins

1

I made chenna at home. You may use ready made paneer. I took 1 ltr full cream milk, boiled it and switched off the gas. Add in 1 lemon juice mixed with water to curdle it. As the green whey appears, sieve the chenna in a muslin cloth and wash it with water. Squeeze the excess water and keep it hanging for 15 mins.
2

Take a mixie jar, add paneer/ chenna with castor sugar, roohafza, rose essence and give a pulse churn for few seconds, to combine together in a light pink thick smooth paste.
3

Add the dried rose petals and mix. Take in a bowl and keep in fridge to set for 10 mins
4

Meanwhile whip the whipping cream till you get stiff peaks. Add the colour and paan essence and mix.
5

Take out the paste and shape it with the help of round cutter. In the center give a small hole like donuts.
6

Take the whipping cream and swirl in between. It is indeed a light delicacy.
