Am-Sandesh

Prepare a syrup of one seer of brownish powder-like sugar ( kasir chini ) and cool it. Drive out the whey from chhana keeping it under high pressure for a few hours. Make a fine paste of one seer of hard chhana without whey. Note that chhana is always pasted with the hands on an wooden plate.

Now heat the syrup in a thick iron pot and when it is warm add the pasted chhana. Stir constantly and vigorously with an wooden ladle for the whole sandesh will taste bitter if only slightly burned. When the mass is sticky, take the pot off fire, place on a circular stand of straw and stir as before, adding cardamom-seeds, pieces of almonds and pistachios if desired, till cold.

Then smear the interior of a mango-shaped cast with the juice of a kind of ginger scented like green mangoes each time as a ball of the sandesh is pressed into the cast to give the desired shape.

In preparing sandesh always use iron pot and wooden ladle and as soon as it is prepared transfer it on an wooden plate when moulded into shapes. Then keep them in earthen pots.
