How to make a Cheese (Chhena)
- To make the sponge, cheese, first take 1-liter milk in a heavy surface pan and boil it. When milk is boiled, turn off the stove, let the milk cool. If you want to cool early, then add 1/2 cup cold water to it. After waiting for 10 minutes, add lemon juice or vinegar as per the above-mentioned amount.
*Use full cream milk to make Rsamalai, it will give you a good result.
- Put a malmal cloth or cotton cloth on the large sieve, turn the torn milk in it, When the whole water drains out, it squeezes it well, but some moisture remains. If the whole water drains out, it will become dry and the Rsamalai balls will not become soft. Put two or three glasses of cold water on the ball or put it under the tap water. After adding cold water, the lemons will get rid of the lemon.
- Leave chhena (paneer) for 10 to 15 minutes in the sieve. Then squeeze well with the palms.
- Then hang it on the tap by binding a knot of this cloth, which will drain its excess water. Take it down after about 30 minutes. Spread this chenna on the plate. If it is too wet, then spread it into paper napkins.
