Chenna Poda means roasted cheese cake. It is a traditional cheese dessert from the Indian state of Odisha. it's soft yummy and delicious and doesn't require any setting agent, only some semolina does the trick.

I have added a small twist by infusing mild flavors of rose and rose gulkand to make it richer for the upcoming festival of Rakshabandhan and Independence Day.

Do try this delicious dessert

Steps

40 minutes

1

Boil milk in a big sauce pan. Mix vinegar in 2 tablespoons of water and add to the boiling milk.
2

Keep stirring, the milk will start to curdle.
3

Then in around 4-5 minutes the cheese/paneer/chenna and whey will separate.
4

Put through a fine sieve. Let the whey drain out but not completely. Leave some liquid in the cheese.
5

Add it to a mixer jar. Add rose water, cardamon powder and gulkand. Grind for few seconds.
6

Add brown sugar and some of the liquid/whey if the mixer looks very thick and mix again.
7

Add melted ghee to a bowl.
8

Add all the batter in the bowl. Add dry fruits leaving some to add on top. Mix well.
9

Grease a 7 inch cake tin and line the bottom. This helps in easy removal of the chenna poda. Preheat oven @160°c
10

Add the chopped nuts and keep in the oven to bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is cooked and not sticky when touched.

This is how it looks once done. The top browns little. Chenna Poda is ready with yummy rose flavour. Decorate with rose petals before serving
