Stuffed Mango Sandesh

Summer means Mango is on full-fledged. Anywhere one can surely notice mango, that may be in roadside stalls, supermarkets, backyards and even on roadside trees. Hence noone should miss the chance to enjoy this king fruit, Mango. And being a huge lover of Mango, my pantry always is loaded with varieties of mangoes. Also I never mind to have this fruit at any time of the day 😋

This year, I have already prepared and posted some dishes in my blog using either raw or ripe mangoes are 

And also many other before are there too, do check. So before the mango season goes away, one should definitely make use of this fruit.

Well, today’s post is a sweet dessert using mango that too from Bengali cuisine as ‘Stuffed Mango Sandesh‘. Doesn’t it sound interesting ? oh yes, it is. Some days before, we were at a party and there I came across a dessert similar to this where some chocolate sandeshes are rolled with pineapple slices. Oh my goodness, i was just in love with that, they had so beautifully presented those cute sandeshes. As the mango season is going on, so I prepared some mango sandeshes rolled with thinly slices of mangoes. Completely gluten free dessert is this.

The process is quite simple and easy. One can within a few times, prepare these cute looking sandeshes. I always prefer to use homemade chhena rather than store bought ones. Instead of chhena, some paneer can be opted here. As I am using chhena so I just mash with heels of my hand to get a soft texture so that all other ingredients’ll easily incorporated with that. If paneer is used, then i will suggest to take all the ingredients along with paneer in a blender jar and just blend to get a smooth paste. 

Rest other procedure is same for both chhena as well as paneer. Mango essence if possible do add in the sandesh, I don’t have so added cardamom powder. These stuffed mango sandeshes are perfect eye-catchy dessert option in any party or gathering celebration. After preparing, these can be stored in refrigerator and also taste great if served cold ! Some more sandesh from my blog are Pista Sandesh, Strawberry Sandesh. Do check.

    I just feel like looking at them. How did you manage to cut the mango slices so perfectly so that you can roll them up. They are just divine and an absolute treat. Yum

    Sasmita, such a beautiful looking mithai. I simply could not stop ogling at it. An apt dish for the important celebration. How did you manage to keep the mango slices rolled, without it opening up? Did you have to secure it with a toothpick?

    1. Sasmita

      thank you di ! well, the mango has to be neither too much ripe (otherwise cant make slices from the mangoes) or too much unripe (otherwise the slices wont fold easily). After slicing just place over a paper towel so that the liquid that oozes out from the slices get absorbed. And after that it becomes so easy to fold around the sandeshes.
