Bhapa Sandesh(Steamed Sandesh)

Needed Ingredients:

Full fat Milk - 1 litre

Lemon-1 no

Powdered Sugar-1 cup

Vanilla essence-1 spoon or 1 tspn caradamom powder 

Dry nuts- optional

Pour the milk in an utensil and bring it to boil. Add lemon juice while the milk is boiling hot and stir it. Milk will curdle, at this moment cut the heat. Now stir the milk well, until milk and water is separated. Strain the cottage cheese using muslin cloth or any filter. Leave it in the cloth for a while to drain all the excess water.

 Add 2 teaspoons of milk and Whip the cottage cheese in a mixer to make it as a smooth paste. Now add one cup of sugar, 1 tspn of vanilla essence or caradamom powder. Mix it well. 

Grease the tin with ghee or butter and pour the mixture, cover it with foil. Using Momo/Idly steamer, Steam it for 25-30 minutes. 

Take it out and freeze it for a while before relishing the yummy "Bhapa Sandesh".
