Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Prepare chenna

Boil the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add lemon juice and stir until it curdles completely. Strain using a muslin cloth and rinse with cold water to remove the sourness. Hang it for 30 minutes to drain extra water, leaving soft chenna ready for sandesh.

Description - Step 2

Step 2: Knead the mixture

Transfer the chenna to a plate and knead until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar and cardamom powder. Ensure the texture becomes soft and lump-free, as this gives a creamy base for the kulfi.

Description - Step 3

Step 3: Cook the sandesh base

Heat a non-stick pan on low flame and cook the chenna mixture for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Add condensed milk and saffron milk, mixing until it thickens slightly. Do not overcook, or it may turn dry.

Step 4: Add nuts and flavour

Switch off the flame and stir in chopped pistachios, almonds, and rose water. This adds crunch and festive aroma. Mix well so that the flavours spread evenly throughout the sandesh mixture.

Description - Step 5

Step 5: Set in moulds

Spoon the mixture into kulfi moulds or small bowls. Cover with foil and freeze for 6 hours until firm. Once set, unmould by dipping the mould briefly in warm water, and your Sandesh Kulfi is ready to serve.
