Let's celebrate this Pohela Boishakh with this easy, super delicious pistachio sandesh and impress your friends and family!
Pistachio sandesh... just melts in the mouth... so smooth and creamy! 😃
Ingredients:
▪️ 1 cup chana/ cottage cheese
▪️ 1/2 cup condensed milk
▪️ 1/4 cup pistachio powder
▪️ 1 tbsp powdered milk
▪️ 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
▪️ Few drops of green food color (optional)
▪️ 1 tbsp ghee
Directions:
▪️ Pour Chana in a bowl.
▪️ Pour pistachios in a plastic bag (better if zip locked). Grind using a pestle. Alternatively, you could use a grinder or a food processor.
However, take extra care not to over-grind. Overground nuts release a substantial amount of oil and end up being a paste, instead!
▪️ Mix all the ingredients in a bowl, but ghee.
▪️ Blend until the texture is smooth enough. If kneading by hand, add the condensed milk later while cooking!
▪️ Now, heat up the ghee in a nonstick heavy-bottomed pan. Pour the mixture in it.
▪️ Cook on low-medium heat until the mixture is thick and dry.
▪️ Stir continuously till the mixture losses out of the pan. Then remove it from the stovetop and let it cool down for a few minutes!
▪️ You can start making your sandesh at your wish, when the temperature falls down, yet warm! You can also create nice designs using sandesh molds.
▪️ Grinding the nuts in a zip lock bag would prevent the nuts from releasing the oil, which is essential for dry powders!
▪️ Adding the condensed milk would result in a creamier texture!
▪️ Blending or kneading the mixture is necessary for a smooth texture of the sandeshes.
▪️ Be watchful when cooking the mixture, so that it neither changes its color nor stick to the pan.
