• To make chenna at home, boil milk and cool down for about 5 minutes. Next, add a solution of vinegar and water to curdle it and strain it gently afterwards.
• Wash curdled milk with water, squeeze excess water, and strain for at least half an hour. In the next step, knead chenna with cornflour to get a smooth texture. Form small rounded shapes and keep them aside.
