Kiwi Sondesh Recipe
Bengali style sandesh made by curdling milk and a dessert recipe that includes kiwis
Bengal always reminds me numerous varieties of sweets and fish curries. And that one sweet comes to my mind first is the classical Shondesh.
Shondesh or Sondesh Recipe, a popular chena based sweet in regions West Bengal, Tripura and Bangladesh. The best part about making Sondesh is, it is very easy to make and its made in different flavours according to the seasons. During summer, it comes with mango flavour, during spring it is prepared with jaggery, and in winters it is made with the sap of date palm. The other beautiful thing behind this glorious delicacy from Bengal is the structural design given on this sweet. In Bengal, we can find not less than hundred variants of Shondesh.
I have just come up with a fruity flavoured unique variant of Sondesh for this season of pooja. I have made the Sondesh with Kiwi fruit. May the divine mother empower you with her blessings on this Durga Puja.
Serve Kiwi Sondesh Recipe as a dessert along with Baked Chevdo Recipe and Pheki Mathri Recipe during evening. This recipe can also be served as a dessert after dinner.
