Although Sandesh, one of the all-time favourite amongst Bengali Sweets , can be made quickly using readymade paneer, nothing can match the texture you get with soft, homemade paneer. And, all it will take you is a few minutes longer to curdle the milk and strain it.


Here, we show you how to make Rose Sandesh from scratch. You will be overwhelmed by the melt-in-the-mouth texture and the aesthetic aroma of rose that engulfs this delicious mithai.


You can prepare the Rose Sandesh in bulk and store it in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Tried the rose Sandesh recipe, the taste was perfect but was little soft, so kept it the fridge before making the rounds.do you let the curdled khoya cool completely before adding sugar?

Tarla Dalal    Hi Jumana, Once the paneer has cooled down slightly, you can add sugar to it. Sometimes if the water content in the paneer is more, it will make the mixture very soft when blended.In that case, you can refrigerate it for sometime and then start rolling it. So it is very important to drain out all the water completely from paneer.

Hi Anami, It might get sticky if you have not drained all the whey out from the paneer, drain in completely as mentioned in the recipe.

After blending in the mixer, it became like a paste. So smooth and sticky that it''s impossible to make balls. What''s wrong?

With this recipe I learnt that sandesh can be made in minutes, Just set it for sometime and then its ready to be enjoyed. Rose essence and sherbet gives a very nice pink colour to the sandesh which makes it tempting.
