Handy tips
1. points to remember :
2. make sure that the milk is lukewarm while adding the citric acid mixture. do not shock hot milk as it will affect the quality of the chenna.
3. always use cow's milk for making chenna as it has a low fat content.
4. if you use buffalo's milk, let the milk rest after boiling it and then discard the skin that is formed.
5. always use fresh chenna for making rasgullas.

  4. add the citric acid solution and stir the milk gently.
  5. the milk mill curdle and the whey will separate. the whey has to be clear thus indicating the milk has completely curdled. allow it to rest for 3 to 4 minutes.
  6. strain out all the whey using a clean damp muslin cloth.
  7. fold all the 4 sides of the muslin cloth and twirl it gently so that all the whey that is in the milk solids gets evenly drained out.
  8. Gather the cloth from all 4 sides and squeeze the chenna lightly about 3 to 4 times so that most of the whey gets drained out.
  9. Remove the chenna onto a clean plate and knead gently so that it is free of lumps and take care not to apply too much pressure while kneading the chenna.
  10. it is advisable to use this almost immediately.
