THE CHHENNA: Knead gently to mash any granules. Sieve 10g/4 tsp of flour and baking powder together, mix with chhenna and knead to make a dough. Divide into 12 equal portions, make balls and gently squeeze between the palms and flatten to make ‘patties’ (approx 1½-inch diameter), ensuring that the surface is smooth.
