Steps

1

Procedure to make Chenna:-Boil milk and as soon as it begins to boil add half tablespoon vinegar and stir.If the milk doesn't curdle then add half tablespoon more vinegar little by little.Stop adding once the green liquid starts separating.
2

Turn the gas off and strain it.Let the water drain off on it's own for a few mins, do not squeeze out water forcefully.That will leave the Chenna dry and chewy.
3

Take the warm Chenna in a flat plate and mash it nicely with palm, adding sugar little by little to your taste.It should become soft ball without cracks.If it doesn't then pulse it in the mixie for 2-3 secs..that should make it soft.Now add the Vanilla essence and knead it again.
4

Take a bowl of whichever shape you like and put a thin Chenna layer on the insides of the bowl.
5

Add a layer of strawberry slices.Again put another Chenna layer covering the strawberries.
6

Keep repeating till you reach the top of the bowl...top layer has to sandesh, white layer.Now let it chill for an hour.
7

With the help of a thin supple knife separate the sandesh from the bowl..cover it fully with silver foil. Garnish with sliced strawberries!!!
