October November is festival time in India. And we have to make some sweets to celebrate the joyous occasions.

Here is a very easy and quick recipe of steamed or bhapa sandesh.

A delicious steamed sandesh made in microwave. I made it with date palm jaggery or khajur gur you can make it with sugar too.
