There are a number of chana dal sweet recipes throughout net but these CHANA DAL SANDESH was done all by myself. I prepared them using boiled chana dal, khoya, coconut and sugar. Let us do it together.
STEP 1.Let us prepare the khoya first. Mix the milk powder, ghee, milk together in a bowl and microwave at high for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Done.
STEP 2.Wash and soak the chana dal in 2 medium cups of hot water for 2 hours. Pressure cook upto 2-3 whistles. Open once cold.
STEP 3.Blend the dal along with shredded coconut and a pinch of yellow food colour in a blender.
STEP 4.Heat a wok. Pour the blended dal. Stir continuously for 10-12 minutes. Add the sugar and fold in well.
STEP 5.Keep stirring for another 7-8 minutes. Add the khoya. Fold in well and keep stirring till the whole mixture gets little sticky and tends to come out of the surface of the wok.
STEP 6.Now add the cardamom powder and mix well. Transfer to a greased plate. Level the mixture with the back of a spatula.
STEP 7.Once cool, cut into desired shapes and garnish . Can be refrigerated upto 3-4 days.
