Sandesh Nolen Gur

🇮🇳 Indian

Bengali sandesh kneaded with date-palm jaggery, the winter nolen gur season's prize. Ghee, sugar, patience — the three ingredients in every Indian celebration. Serve at room temperature, cut small — sweetness needs no size.

Prep 15 min Cook 54 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set out every ingredient measured and ready; Indian sweets move fast once the heat is on.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    Keep going until the mass pulls away from the pan and glistens; the colour should deepen a shade.

  4. 4

    Season the mix with the green cardamom and green cardamom, reserving some nuts for the top.

  5. 5

    Spread or shape while warm, garnish with the reserved nuts, cool completely, then cut or serve as it sets.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lemon or lime right before serving wakes up every other flavour.
