About Baked Chaena Bread With Rabdi

This Chaena (paneer) bread, also known as podo or cake, is a beloved sweet from Odisha, traditionally made with chaena, sugar, suji, a touch of ghee, and aromatic cardamom powder. In this innovative recipe, I've given the classic an exciting, healthy twist by swapping out suji for nutritious quinoa and oats powder, making it a guilt-free indulgence.
Paired with rich, creamy rabdi, this baked chaena bread offers a delightful fusion of authentic flavors and wholesome ingredients.

Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

  • For an added layer of texture and flavor, lightly toast the cashews in desi ghee before sprinkling them over the chaena bread mixture prior to baking.
  • If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute the chaena with well-drained silken tofu and use plant-based ghee alternatives; the texture will be slightly different but still delicious when paired with vegan rabdi (made from almond or oat milk).
  • Allow the baked chaena bread to cool completely before cutting, as this helps it set and prevents crumbling, especially with the addition of oats and quinoa powders.
  • When serving, drizzle warm rabdi over individual slices just before presentation and garnish with a pinch of extra cardamom powder or edible silver leaf for a festive touch.
