Ingredients

2 Cup Whole Wheat Flour

Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing pan

3/4 Cup Dutch-process Cocoa Powder or any cocoa powder

1 tsp Baking Soda

3 Large Very Ripe Bananas peeled

3/4 Cup Vegetable Oil 

1 Cup Sugar

2 Large Egg at room temperature

2 Tsp Pure Vanilla essence

1/4 cup inside the batter + 1/2 Cup Dark chocolate chips on top

½ tsp Salt

crushed walnuts on top (optional)

Instructions :

1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Don't skip the sifting. This will help break apart any fine lumps of cocoa powder or flour.

3. In a large mixing bowl, mash bananas well. Mix in the powdered sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla essence, making sure to bread apart any lumps of sugar.

4. Begin gradually adding the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. After all wet and dry ingredients are combined well. Do not over mix. Add 1/4 cup chocolate chips into the batter.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle rest of chocolate chips and crushed walnuts over the top.

6. Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, without any moist batter. 

7. Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. 

8. Run a knife along the edges of the pan to loosen the banana bread, and Use the sides of the parchment paper to lift the banana bread out of the pan. Slice and enjoy.

9. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.

HAPPY COOKING & ENJOY💛💛

Sandesh is a sweet prepared with freshly made chenna aka moist paneer, powdered sugar. Flavoring can be in many different varieties, like most common being saffron and cardamom. Or sometimes saffron. 

Check out the video of AAM SANDESH

This is very delightful sweet dish, can be melt in your mouth. Last time when I made Sandesh with Kesar it will be finish in just few days. So I decided to make this Sandesh with mango twist.

WHAT IS SANDESH SWEET?

Sandesh is just a soft fudge made with Indian cottage cheese or paneer. It can be flavored with Kesar Sandesh, Nolen Gurer Sandesh, Chocolate Sandesh, Rose Sandesh, Jaggery Sandesh and many more that you can choose from your favorite ingredient or make it simple without any essence. You can make end number of flavours into it. It is pronounced like "SONDESH" 

I have made mango sandesh in two ways one if barfi style and one is flat ladoo style.. both come super soft and fantastic. For barfi, i have set it in fridge for almost 4 hours and for other one I have just cool the mixture in fridge for 1 hour till it firm then I made flat ladoo. 

The thing that should be kept in mind while making Sandesh is to mash the Chenna or Paneer nicely with the heels of your hands till it is smooth and silky.
