Pista Sandesh

Sandesh is a popular moist sweet fudge in the bengali cuisine which has chenna as the main ingredient. This sweet can be made easily at home and requires just two ingredients : chenna and sugar. (https://atelierdetroupe.com/) So with very less ingredients, this yummy sweet dish can be enjoyed. This sweet is perfect for gifting in festivals as it’s easy to make if chenna is ready. I have not tasted sandesh anywhere else, so thought of trying for the first time. Instead of making plain sandesh, I just add pistachio powder to make interesting one. So lets go by the detail method of preparation mentioned below.

2. Put the mixture in a non-stick heavy bottomed pan and cook on very low heat for 8-10 mins. Take care not to change the color of the mixture.
3. When the mixture turns dry and thick, switch of the flame and transfer to a bowl. 
4. Add powdered pistachios and green color.
