Take one portion of the sandesh, place one orange segment on it and cover it with another portion of sandesh. Seal the edges of the sandesh properly so that the orange is sandwiched between them.Use ghee to grease your palms while making rounds, so that the mixture won't stick to your hands. Repeat this process with the remaining 20 portions to make 10 more orange sandesh. Refrigerate for atleast one hour and serve chilled. Garnish the sandesh with grated orange rind. Can be served with ice- cream.
