Ingredients
-
1 liter milk
-
65 grams sugar
-
50 grams cow’s milk chhena (fresh cheese
-
5 or 6 almonds, blanched and chopped
-
7 or 8 pistachios, blanched and chopped
Directions
Note:- To make chhena, put 2½ cups (500 ml) milk in a deep saucepan and bring it just to a boil. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into the milk and stir until it curdles. Drain away the whey and transfer the solids to a double layer of cheesecloth. Weight it down with a plate and something heavy so that all the excess liquid is drained away. This will yield ½ cup chhena.
