Name: Nolen Gurer Sandesh (date palm jaggery sweet) recipe by Anika Banerjee at BetterButter
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 60 min
Total time: 70 min
Yield: 10
Ingredients: 2 litre full cream milk; Lime juice , 3-4 tbsp; Date palm Jaggery, 8-10 tbsp; Sugar, 1-2 tbsp (optional, depending on your sweetness quotient); Raisins and pista for garnishing

Boil milk in a pan, stirring occasionally. As the milk boils, gradually add lime juice and stir. The milk will curdle

Take a piece of muslin cloth and strain the curdled milk

Make a potli with the cloth and wash the chenna/paneer with cold water to remove the lime flavour

Put the cloth in a strainer to let all the extra water out and let it stand for 20 minutes. We don't want the chenna/paneer to be dry, it should be moist or the sandesh will not be soft

Now take the chenna/paneer and knead till all lumps are removed. The dough will be a bit sticky because of the water but this will help in making soft sandesh

Take a non stick pan and add 2 tbsp of water in it

Add pieces of jaggery and let it melt over low heat

Add the kneaded paneer to the melted jaggery and mix well

Check the taste. If required, add more jaggery or sugar

Cook for 5-6 minutes. You will see the chenna/paneer coming together and will start to release from the pan

Take some mixture in between you fingers, it shouldn't stick

Switch off the gas and stir the mixture for another 4-5 minutes and then transfer the mixture on to a plate

Wet your hands with water and make round shapes

Garnish with raisins and pista!
