Kacha Golla is a Bengali sweetmeat prepared with Chena/ Chana or Cheese curd.
Kacha means RAW or UNCOOKED ( Chena/ Chana ) and Golla means ROUND ( balls ) in Bengali language. But this is not made fully with Raw Chena but 50% Chena cooked with Sugar and condensed milk and 50% the so called Raw Chena, that's why it is quite moist, light , soft and melt in the mouth kind of Sweetmeat.
In the other side of the border, in Bangaladesh it's called Pranhara- THE HEART STEALER.
Here I have not made the regular flavour Kacha Golla but Lemon flavoured Kacha Golla.
In this recipe, I have used the #leftover sugar used to coat/ dredge the Candied Lemon Peels and added the candied lemon peels to the sugar and grinded it to get the flavour and aroma of Lemon in addition to the lemon zest and juice I added to the Chena , hence I didn't use any lemon essence. I garnished the Lemon Kacha Golla with the Candied Lemon Peel and Lemon zest.
Note : if you are not using Candied Lemon Peels and using Lemon essence instead, then there's no need to grind the sugar.
I have grinded the sugar in order to grind the candied Lemon Peels.
I have used Tetra Pack Full cream milk l, from 2 litres I got around 285 gms Chena or Cheese Curd.
