Steps

1 hr 20 min

1

Boil milk to make chenna of it. Use full cream milk. Turn off the flame.
2

Mix equal amount of water and lemon juice in a bowl. Add this to the milk slowly and keep stiring. The milk will curdle and stop adding lemon juice once it starts curdling.
3

Strain the chenna.
4

Now pour this chenna along with 2 tablespoon whey in a vessel. Keep mixing it. Add sooji, scrapped jaggery and sugar to this. Keep mixing using a spoon. I grinded this in a mixer grinder to make a smooth paste of it. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
5

Now add cashewnuts, raisins and cardamom powder to this mixture. Mix well.
6

Meanwhile preheat your oven on 200℃.
7

Grease an aluminium tray with ghee and maida. Pour the mixture in the tray.
8

Bake this on 200℃ for 30 to 40 minutes or till the upper layer is crispy and brown. Prick the chenna poda and check if it's baked.
