Manjula aunty...don't know why but while mixing sugar my paneer dough almost got melted & so I added more paneer to it which made the consistency a little better but still it's not forming in dough form as shown in your video....plz advise on how can I handle this now ASAP...thank you...

[Manjulaskitchen]

@gurnaniritu

Paneer should be cooked on very low heat otherwise sugar will make paneer very soft.

Well being a bengali never made sandesh before at home as in calcutta u get it in every lane.. howver planing to make it ths week, but I will be using vanilla essence to make it vanilla sandesh... in calcutta in normal sandesh they do not put pineapple, however it will be gud as well, I guess:)

[ibnerushd]

do you have the receipe of kacha golla ?

[anwarkasi]

Is this what Paro brings to Devdas as an excuse to see him in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film? (^___^) Or is that a different meaning of sandesh?

[ShafinMH]

I loved the "Devads" movie. Rai was so good.

[gaarasabure]

Yup, this is what Paro pretends to bring him.

[tekobari]

I never thought I would love an Indian sweet, but this recipe changed my mind. It's wonderful! Thank you, Manjula, for your great teaching, too. You have a gift for it.

[divinekandy]

i love sondeshhhhh!!!!!!!! thankssss

[phoaeni]

I am trying to watch this video but it says that "It's not longer available"? Can someone explain why?

[2darbit]

Hello Manjula!

This recipe sounds so yummy, (I wish you could push one through the screen).

My question is, after you have completed these, do they need to be refrigerated?

Also, could one use dried pineapple? I was wondering to send my sister via the UPS or other. What do you think?

Thank you again for sharing your tasty recipes.

[Manjulaskitchen]

needs to be refrigerated

[sondanielshah]

THANK YOU aunty...great recipe!

[PirateAmethyst]

This looks very yummy! Thank you for sharing this with us.

[Zophe]

I can't wait to try to make this, thank you!

[reenachitra]

pls make a video on egg biryanii

[kod60]

FYI Aunty belongs to the Jain faith. It is very similar to Buddhism. They do not cook with any eggs, meat as they are great believers in non violence and purity plus they also do not consume any onions or garlic. That is why all her videos are completely free of these items. It is really great for all the vegetarians out there, I must say. I must thank her website for a lot of wonderful recipes.

[villagebelle]

If you watch manjula didi's videos you would know by now that she presents only vegetarian recipes SANS -- eggs, garlic and onions -- this is akin to her belief and value systems and I for one am sure glad that she posts these valuable videos.

[nimogirl1981]

manjula aunty, thank you again, you are one of the very few people who can cook amazingly and teach amazingly at the same time. looks delicious. i must try it this weekend....

[sharmilak]

[justmom66]

ty for sharing this looks really good =]

[joshryker]

I'm curious to know Manjula, is pineapple a traditional ingredient in Bengali cooking, or is that more of a Western influence?

These look delicious!

[tradebabie]

Lots of people grow pineapples in their gardens in India.

[joshryker]

I really didn't know .. that's interesting to me. I looked up 'pineapple' on Wikipedia to learn about its origins and see how it might have been introduced to India. Not much luck - it is native to Brazil and Paraguay. From those countries it spread to the Caribbean, and Columbus brought it back to Europe. Maybe pineapple is a British colonial influence. I guess all that matters these days is that it tastes delicious in recipes like these. :)

[breathingmylife]

the word for pineapple in hindi is 'ananas' which is the same as that in many european (latin) languages. it couldve been brought to india via the portugese or others before the british...

[bestiaccia]

Yummy!!!

[foodstamped]

Is it possible to make paneer with non-dairy milk (e.g., soy milk, almond milk, hemp milk, oat milk, et cetera)?

Thanks

[ibechane]

I don't think it would work. It has to be actual milk so it curdles when you add acid. Soy milk, for example, might look like milk, but it's really just soy-bean juice. It doesn't have the casein to create curds.

[foodstamped]

I've made buttermilk with soymilk and it definitely curdles...

[joshryker]

To put it simply, no. Paneer is made from the milk solids, the curd, after it seperates from the water content of the milk, the whey. Soy, almond, oat milk is just the essence of the grain or legume soaked in water.

[villagebelle]

soy milk will curdle with nigari -- what results is known as TOFU -- here is your substitute for paneer -- be warned, though, that you will never get a real "sandesh" taste as with milk. Other "milks" you have mentioned almond, hemp, oat ..etc will NOT break into curds and whey.

[smup0]

this sweet is good.

can u plz tell how long this sweet stays in freeze or should it be consumed the same day?

[Manjulaskitchen]

refrigerate for a week.
