GET IT RIGHT
How to make the prefect chhena/cottage cheese
Bengalis are famous for their chhena sweets and other chenna delicacies but not everyone can get it right. Here’s how you can make authentic chhena at home itself.
-
Use only cow milk for curdling, preferably full fat.
-
Firstly heat the milk.
-
After five minutes of heating, squeeze in one tsp of lemon juice and keep stirring continuously, till the milk curdles.
-
Separate water completely from the curdled chhena.
-
Put it through a seive.
-
Gather the chhena in a muslin cloth and tie it up.
-
Keep this muslin cloth under a heavy object for an hour or so, till it solidifies into one mass and is completely dry. Your perfect chhena is now ready to for use!
