Nolen Gurer Sandesh

🇮🇳 Indian

Date-palm jaggery sandesh, winter Bengal's proudest export. Ghee, sugar, patience — the three ingredients in every Indian celebration. Plate in petit-four pieces with tea or as prasad.

Prep 19 min Cook 39 min Serves 6 Hard

Ingredients

  • Salta pinch
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Sugarto taste
  • Jaggery3/4 cup, grated
  • Green Cardamom1 tsp
  • Khoa (Mawa)200 g

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep first: nuts chopped, pans greased, trays ready — this recipe rewards organization.

  2. 2

    Combine the khoa (mawa) with the jaggery in a heavy-bottomed pan and begin cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly.

  3. 3

    Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan — 15 to 25 minutes of honest work.

  4. 4

    Add the green cardamom, cardamom and any nuts or saffron; fold through and cook two minutes more.

  5. 5

    Shape or slice once it has cooled enough to handle; it firms up as it rests.

Chef's tip

Resting the finished dish for five minutes off the heat lets the spices settle and deepen.
