Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup cottage cheese
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups powdered milk
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 cups icing sugar
- 3-5 strands of saffron
- 1 cup water
- Peel of 1 lemon
Recipe Instructions:
-
Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine cottage cheese, sweetened condensed milk, powdered milk, all-purpose flour, and icing sugar. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste-like consistency.
-
Heat the Mixture: Transfer the blended mixture to a wok and heat it over medium heat. Stir continuously to prevent sticking and ensure even heating. Allow it to heat through for about 10-15 minutes until it becomes thick and cohesive.
-
Reduce the Flame: Once the mixture is heated through, reduce the flame to low. This will prevent it from burning and allow for slow evaporation of moisture.
-
Stir Until Dry: Continue stirring the mixture over low heat until it becomes dry and starts to leave the sides of the wok. This process may take some time but ensures the desired texture and consistency of the sandesh.
-
Add Saffron and Lemon Peel: Once the mixture is almost dry, add saffron strands for a rich, golden hue and finely grated lemon peel for a burst of citrus flavor. Mix well to incorporate the ingredients evenly.
-
Spread onto a Plate: Grease a plate or tray with a little ghee or butter. Spread the cooked sandesh mixture evenly onto the greased surface, using a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth it out.
-
Allow to Cool: Let the sandesh mixture cool completely at room temperature. This step helps in setting the dessert and allows the flavors to meld together.
-
Cut into Shapes: Once cooled, cut the sandesh into desired shapes such as rectangles or squares using a sharp knife. Be creative with the shapes to make your dessert visually appealing.
-
Serve: Serve the Kesari Sandesh with Lemon Peel as a delightful dessert or sweet treat. It pairs perfectly with a cup of hot chai or as a standalone indulgence.
-
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and preserve the flavors. Enjoy chilled whenever you crave a sweet and tangy treat.
