- 1 litre Milk

- 12 tablespoons Milk Powder
- 8 pieces Cardamom Pods
- 10 pieces Almond
- 6 pieces Lemon
- 200 gram Crystal Sugar

Step 1
Put milk in a bowl. Start boiling. Squeeze the juice of lemon and put it in a bowl. As milk starts boiling, add the lime juice.

Step 3
Put bowl/ pan in oven. Put the chana. Add 4-6 spoon milk powder. Start mixing with a spatula, so that no lumps are formed.
Step 4
Add the crystal sugar. ( It dissolves quickly, also makes the mixture less runny). Mix everything.
Step 5
Crush the cardamom pods with a mortar-pestle. Chop the Almonds. Put them subsequently in the bowl.
Step 6
Mix everything. Cook this phase in low flame. Make sure chena doesn't get stick to the bottom of the pan.
Step 7
Take a plate. Brush ghee on it. Transfer the chena on the plate. Add 6 spoon milk powder.( Measurement of milk powder in this stage varies depending on the requirement).
Step 8
Start kneading. Don't overdo it, make sure chena stays soft. Grease palms with ghee. Make chena balls, flatten them with palms. Put Almond slice on each.
Step 9
Store in a refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. Make sure to cover it otherwise Sandesh will dry. Enjoy!!
