Sandesh is a traditional Indian sweet made primarily from fresh chenna, which is a type of cheese made from curdled milk. It is often flavored with cardamom, saffron, or fruit extracts, and can be shaped into various forms, including small discs or decorative molds. Sandesh is particularly popular in the state of West Bengal and is often enjoyed during festivals and special occasions.
This delicacy is not only cherished for its taste but also for its cultural significance. It is commonly offered during celebrations like Durga Puja and Bengali New Year. Sandesh can be garnished with nuts or dried fruits, enhancing its flavor and visual appeal.
