“I have received the cheese you have sent, and although it was nice, there are yet some improvements to be made. The improvements are that first you should put the cheese in a frying pan and stir vigorously, adding 1/4 of sugar. While on the fire it should be stirred and mixed as nicely as possible. Then while it is cooling it should still be stirred as nicely as possible. Then when it is cooled you should knead it to make dough. When it is soft enough you can shape it into squares or round shapes as you like.”
Letter to Kirtanananda, 21 July, 1969

Anavadyangi dasi: I used to push it with the palm of my hand on marble to make silky smooth. By adding lemon or orange zest to some, a little fresh mint juice finely pounced out in mortar & pestle to another. Layer with real silver or gold foil, cut into squares and offer to Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha and Krishna Their Royal Sandesh. My great love was making mangal arotik sweets for Them.
