Ingredients:
- 425 grams Ricotta Cheese
- 3 tablespoon Sugar
- 3 Cardamoms
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 1 tablespoon Ghee
- Few strands of Saffron
- 5 Pistachios or Cashew nuts
Method: Heat the milk till it is warm and then add the saffron strands to it. Then set it aside for 5 minutes.
Add the saffron milk to the ricotta cheese and mix well. Take a dry microwave safe bowl and then grease it with ghee. Add the ricotta cheese mixture to the greased bowl. Put the bowl in the microwave. After every minute, stop the microwave and stir the cheese. Keep microwaving and stirring the cheese for 5 minutes.
Take out the bowl from microwave and add the cardamom powder and sugar to the bowl. Then microwave the mixture again for 3 minutes and stop the microwave and stir after every minute. The mixture is microwaved so that the cheese loses its moisture and becomes granular. It is turned every minute so that each side of the mixture loses moisture evenly.
Take out the mixture from the microwave and let it cool. When it cools down, divide the mixture into 15 or more parts. Then pour some ghee into your palm and grease them. Now take a piece of the cheese mixture and roll it into round to make the shape of a ball. Roll all the mixture parts into balls.
Then put some chopped nuts in the center of the flattened sandesh and have them fresh or store them in refrigerator to enjoy later.
