Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Chenna Murki
- Use good quality paneer for the best flavor and texture. Fresh paneer is ideal.
- Don't overcook the syrup, or the Chenna Murki will become too hard. The one-string consistency is key.
- Work quickly when coating the paneer cubes to ensure even coverage.
- Allow the Chenna Murki to cool completely before sprinkling with powdered sugar; this prevents the sugar from dissolving.
