Notes
Do not overcook the soft chhana, else you will end up with crumbly Sandesh.
If you are going to shape the Sandesh, then press the Sandesh into the mold when it is still hot, let it sit at room temperature or refrigerate for an hour or so.
Chhana mixed with sugar needs to be cooked only for about 5 mins max, else you will end up having crumbly paneer on hand.
Press the hot Sandesh into the molds for it to get shape quickly, else you will have heat it up again. For best results, refrigerate for 10 to 20 mins before removing from molds.
