Saffron Pistachio Sandesh Panna Cotta / Guest Post By Bejaya Sinha 

Saffron pistachio sandesh panna cotta.

Its a guest post and 200th post on my blog. My recipe sharing journey started with food group ‘Chef At Large’. And I am very happy to share this recipe of a very talented member of this group.

Panna cotta is an Italian dessert made of sweetened cream thickened with gelatin or agar agar and moulded. Literally meaning of panna cotta is cooked or thickened cream. And this Saffron pistachio sandesh panna cotta is a fusion recipe. You can taste panna cotta in Bengali sandesh.

This is a guest post by Bejaya Sinha. We met each other in a food group Chef At Large.  She always amazed me with her delicious recipes and excellent photographs. She is an awesome home cook. Bejaya has shared many of her innovative recipes in food group.
