Ingredients
Paneer made from 4 cups of full fat or low fat milk (2%)
3/4 cup powdered sugar
7-8 strands of good quality saffron mixed with 1 table spoon of hot milk
1/2 a drop of rose essence (optional)
1. Drain the freshly made paneer of all water by wringing it in a cheese cloth.
2. Knead the paneer with soft hand for 8-10 minutes until it’s very soft. This is an important step.
2. Cook the paneer and sugar in a heavy bottomed pan for ONLY 3-4 minutes. NO MORE THAN THAT.
3. When cool, mix in the rose essence.
4. Make 2 inch balls and dot them at the top with the saffron milk.
5. Chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours.

Dear Ranjanaba,
Thank you. There are places in Karnataka where you can get these dolls adorned. I am sure you will find resources on the web for more information.
Thanks,

Made Sandesh yesterday and it came out really really well! It was quite easy too. Just made sure to knead the paneer really well just like for rasgullas. Made 2 diff. versions one with Rose ess. and elaichi with kesar and pista on top, just like yours. Other one with kesar elaichi and pista on top. I personally enjoyed your rose flavored one more and thought it looked prettier too

Great! Thanks for pointing out the need to knead well. You were talking about freezing some of them. Did you?
