    Mango Sandesh is a Mango twist of the classic Bengali sweet Sondesh. It is made by making fresh chenna and flavoring of mango puree.
    Sandesh or as my Bong friends say Sondesh is a very popular Bengali sweet made using fresh Paneer or Chenna. It can be made in various flavors, most common being saffron and cardamom.

    Summer has arrived with fresh and flavorful mangoes. And I all busy planning to make mango-ish recipes every day. So, for today, I have given a mangoish twist to succulent Sandesh and prepared it as Mango Sandesh instead!

    They came out super creamy and soft and melted in our mouths. Moreover, they were really easy to make. The thing that should be kept in mind while making Sandesh is to mash the Chenna or Panner nicely with the heels of your hands till it is smooth and silky. Everything else for this recipe of Mango Sandesh is otherwise sorted and streamlined.

    Here is the recipe to make delicious Mango Sandesh this summer. I recommend that you should even make Mango Ice Cream if your love for mangoes and desserts is as deep as mine. To learn more summer hacks and new recipes, do follow me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram at your ease.

    Also, if you have any doubts about recipes or ingredients, you could buzz me through your comments or tweets, I will make sure to be there for you all!
