As I am staying outside Kolkata for almost 7 years, I am not getting any Bengali sweets here at Bangalore. I love Bengali sweets, so I thought of making this Channar Sandesh, to make my joy city Kolkata alive again in my heart and mind.
Reduce the heat and add lemon juice in order to curdle the milk.
Stir continuously.
Strain to separate the milk solids/channa from the water.
Collect all channa in a clean cloth and squeeze out the excess water.
In a mixing bowl, put channa and add to it the castor sugar and cardamon powder.
Knead the mixture well till smooth.
Heat a kadhai.
And put the channa-sugar mixture into it.
On low flame stir for 5 minutes or till the mixture begins to emit a nice aroma.
Take the mixture out in a plate and let it cool.
Now form little roundels of your desired shape.
Garnish with cashews and raisins.
Refrigerate for atleast 6 hours in a covered container.
Serve chilled.
