Instructions
 

  • Fist boil the milk...when it is boiling add vinegar water to this slowly n stir it slowly.
  • It start curdles n chenna (paneer) separates from water.
  • Now strain this chenna water...but not fully.Some chenna water should be there n chenna should be fresh...this is the key ingredient of chenna poda.
  • Dont throw this chenna water...we will use this later in making the recipe.
  • After some time...chenna is little warm, mash it n add the sugar to this...due to warmness of chenna sugar starts to melt n adds extra moisture to chenna.
  • After 3 to 4 min...add sooji to this n mix it properly.At the end we will add baking powder n cardamom powder.
  • Meanwhile add chenna water to this...by mistake i threw it(dont worry u can add normal water also)
  • The mixture should be semi thick consistency...then only chenna poda will remain moist from inside.
  • Finally add ghee to give extra flavour to this.
  • Meanwhile preheat oven for 10 min at 220'C...grease baking dish with oil.
  • Pour the chenna mixture to the baking dish n flatten it from all sides n tap it so that no more air bubbles are there.
  • Bake it for 60 min at same temp...take out it from oven.
  • Insert a tooth pick,if it comes out clean...its done.
  • But i have to make the upper part little crispy n brown so i kept is inside oven in grill mode so that i will get the color.
  • Now take out it from oven n make it cool down.
  • Remove from baking dish n cut into pieces n have this yummy sweet of Odisha...

Notes

  • The chenna should be fresh n mosit.
  • One more thing is temp n duration of baking vary from oven to oven…so keep an eye while u bake it…
