Steamed Orange Cup Sandesh infused with Orange Jam
Since Oranges are rich in Vitamin C and very good for keeping the cold away in the winters... here is a healthy Bengali sweet dish fusion with oranges and cottage cheese.. to celebrate any moment of your day. Sandesh is a Bengali sweet dish made from cottage cheese... to which I have added home made Orange Jam to enhance the flavour of the orange.
Ingredients
5 medium size Oranges cut into halves
250 grams Paneer / Cottage Cheese / Chenna
1/2 cup Sugar
Pinch of Salt
1/3 cup Condense Milk
Method
- Using a citrus juicer, remove the juice from the oranges, without damaging the orange peel cups.. incase citrus juicer is not available, then remove the orange segments from the orange peel cups and press the segments through a strainer to procure the juice, discard the seeds.. we should get around 2 cups of orange juice. Gently remove the orange pith from the orange cups. Blanch the orange cups in hot water to remove the bitterness from the skin.
- Take a pot, add a cup of orange juice, sugar and salt, let the juice reduce on a low flame, stirring it occasionally until the juice reduces and thickens. Switch off the flame. Keep it aside. Once cool, the orange jam will thicken further.
- Take a blender, add the cottage cheese, condensed milk and the remaining cup of orange juice. Blend all the ingredients together into a smooth paste in a blender.
- Take a steamer, add water into the steamer, set the steamer plate, arrange the orange peel cups on the plate. Pour the liquid into the orange cups. Add a tsp of the orange jam into each of the orange cups. Steam the orange cups sandesh for 15 minutes.
- Remove the steamed orange cup sandesh from the steamer the steamer and cool them a bit, then cool the orange cup sandesh in the fridge, before serving garnish the orange cups with orange jam, dried orange peel and some mint leaves.
- This portion gives 10 Steamed Orange Cup Sandesh.

Godrej Yummiez Steamed Chicken Lucknowi Sheek Kabab One-pot Meal
We love Godrej Yummiez as it’s very convenient and healthy to use. It comes in frozen precooked or in pre marinate form. We can create delicious dishes out of it or just cook it as it is. The pre marinated ones have to be thawed and the precooked ones need to be fried directly after it’s taken out of the freezer.
