Dear Friend,
Making Karapaker sandesh involves a lot of effort & expertise... buy a ticket to Kolkata and visit Nakur Chandra Nandy and Girish Chandra Ghosh'es shop near Hedua

Hello r37,

You may find some sandesh talk, and some recipes for kanchagolla type of sandesh, at GourmetIndia.com, Foodways of Bengal thread. The discussion there might help you take the first steps towards making sandesh at home. Thereafter you can practice and see if your skill levels improve enough to be able to manage karapak. There is discussion of types of chhana etc. which you should first master, and the art of comminuting chhana, the temperature at comminution, the milkfat content, et al. So. if you are serious, you should clearly understand that there is no "recipe", rather, a long tutelage in technique and understanding how milk products behave under varying conditions.

whatever little knowledge i possess - the kada paker sandesh has some additives that give them the special quality of being extra hard.

as i mentioned - 'as far as my knowledge goes' ... long time back there was a servant in our house, he had worked in a shop that made sweets ... he had confided to my mother that they addeed rice powder to the sandesh to make them hard like stones ... this is of the sixties vintage ...
