Winter in India brings a treasure trove of seasonal flavors, and one of the most beloved among them is Date Palm Jaggery (Khajuri Guda). If you’ve ever tasted sweets made from this golden elixir, you know the magic it brings to every bite.
Today, we’re bringing you a traditional Bengali sweet made healthier and more flavorful with Treelogical Khajuri Guda – presenting: Sandesh with Date Palm Jaggery!
📝 Ingredients
- 500 ml full-fat milk
- 2 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar (diluted with 2 tbsp water)
- 1/3 cup Treelogical Date Palm Jaggery (grated or crushed)
- 1/4 tsp cardamom powder (optional)
- Chopped pistachios or saffron strands for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare Chhena (Cottage Cheese)
- Boil milk in a heavy-bottomed pan.
- Once it starts bubbling, lower the heat and add diluted lemon juice slowly.
- Stir gently until the milk curdles and whey separates.
- Strain through a muslin cloth, rinse under cold water to remove sourness.
- Squeeze excess water and hang it for 20 minutes to drain fully.
2. Knead the Chhena
- Place the drained chhena on a plate.
- Knead with the palm of your hand for 5–7 minutes until smooth and soft.
3. Cook with Jaggery
- Heat a non-stick pan on a low flame.
- Add the kneaded chhena and stir for 2–3 minutes.
- Add grated Treelogical Khajuri Guda and mix well.
- Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and starts leaving the sides.
- Please turn off the heat and let it cool slightly.
4. Shape the Sandesh
- Once slightly cooled, divide into small balls.
- Press into traditional sandesh moulds or shape by hand.
- Garnish with pistachios or saffron.
🥄 Tips & Tricks
Always cook on low flame to retain the delicate flavor of date palm jaggery.
- Avoid overcooking after adding jaggery to prevent hardening.
- Refrigerate if not serving immediately – tastes even better chilled!
