Chenna poda recipe Ingredients 1.5 cup - fresh Paneer ( made from 2 kg Milk ) 1/2 cup - Sugar 2 tbsp - semolina A pinch of Cardamom 1 tbsp - Ghee Handful of Raisins and cashews How to Make Make fresh paneer and keep it aside for 10-15 minutes. Do not squeeze it very hard, a spongy texture with a little moisture is good enough. Heat little ghee in a pan, roast cashews and keep it aside. Now, take paneer in a bowl and mix it with semolina and cardamom. Start kneading it till you get a very mashed quality, this will take 3-4 minutes. Add sugar and nuts and again mix it with paneer thoroughly to get a crumbly mixture finally. Now, in the ramekins, spread a little ghee and keep them on low flame to melt it properly. Add sugar to it and let it caramelise for a minute. Pour in the paneer mix over the caramelised sugar. Press it with fingers to form an even surface. Bake the ramekins for 25-30 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check if it is cooked. Coo
