If Rosogolla is the queen of sweets then Sandesh is the king of Bengalee desert. Sandesh is of various kinds like Kacha Golla or Makha Sandesh, Kora Paker Sandesh, Norom Paker Sandesh, Talsansh, etc. Generally, Sandesh is made mixing Chena(homemade paneer), sugar or Jaggery, and then set in different spaced moulds among them Sankh Sandesh and Aata Sandesh are famous.
