Bengali Gujiya sandesh is perhaps the quickest and easiest sandesh recipe that can come together. It is made with instant khowa using powdered milk and fresh cream. This ring-shaped unique sandesh recipe is quite popular in its own way.
Take a heavy bottomed pan, preferably non-stick pan. Add powdered milk, milk, fresh cream and ghee in it and mix everything well. Keep the heat on medium-low.
1 cup Milk Powder, ½ cup Fresh Cream , ¼ cup Milk , 2 tbsp Ghee or Clarified Butter
Add the sugar, cardamom powder and a couple of drops of rose water and mix. At this stage you will notice a lot of liquid in the pan, but keep mixing everything together so that nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan. Break the lumps using the back of the spoon
2 tsp Sugar , 2 Green Cardamom , ¼ tsp Rose extract
In 8-10 minutes you will see that it has reduced in quantity and coming together into a smooth dough ball.
Turn off the heat and take it out on a plate to cool down a bit. When its warm enough to be handles, pinch off a small portion and roll it 2 inches long in cylindrical shape. Bring together the ends and press them together to make them stick. Gently put it on a plate to cool down completely so that it hardens and retains the shape.
Once they have cooled down completely and hardened up, serve or keep it in an airtight container.
