Fruit Sandesh is a delightful mix of Kancha Golla Sandesh with Fruits and Norom Paak Sandesh that are again cooked with nuts. As I had mentioned, I took advantage of the long weekend I had during our Independence day and I was making a handful of Sandesh that day. I knew I had planned on making Fruits Sandesh, inspired from here. However, I went ahead with my own idea and only while I was assembling did it strike me that I could as well make a Trirangi Sandesh.
I have been wanting to make something special with Tricolour theme, so glad I finally did this. Everything came together beautifully that I was so happy with the final output. I made only this one serving as it was quite huge. Konda enjoyed the whole dessert herself for breakfast.
For this Sandesh, I used Oranges, Apple and Kiwi for the respective colours in our Indian Flag. I used Kancha Golla Sandesh for Green layer, White Layer. Green Layer had a tiny drop of green colour mixed, that I borrowed from Veena. I could’ve gone with pista, but I simply went ahead with it. Orange Layer was Norom Paak with Orange.
I knew it was going to be tough when following A to Z series and cooking so many dishes together, that I might post a dish without a recipe as the main dish follows later! It happened just as I thought. Certain dishes were cooked first and based on that, I did few more. In the end, the derived dishes are coming out first and the main dish later. So in this case, I will not share the dish right away but will only talk about how I layered it. Will update once I reach that dish..:)
When I started the Sandesh dishes for cooking, I again had to group similar Sandesh together and plan it well. Because certain flavours were needed for some other alphabets, I had to save few for those finished dishes and served the rest. For this Fruit Sandesh too I took one batch which was approximately 1 cup or 250 ml milk. This yields about 4 to 5 pieces depending on the size. I divided 1 cup into 3 portions, out of which I used one portion of each flavour.
