How to make vapa sandesh |
Vapa Sandesh or Bengali Steamed Cheese cake is very famous throughout the world special among the Indians.
Taste
This
Cheese cake is very soft and mouth melting if a genuine recipe is
followed. It is very lightly sweetened with sugar(few uses jaggery)
which increases the acceptance.
Mostly foodies ask for an another portion for a fulfilling satisfaction.
I
would highly recommend the dessert to you if you have not tried yet
and if you already tried it then you don't need my recommendation.
