Ingredients for making Chhena Murki:

  • Fresh Paneer or Cottage-cheese - 200 grams
  • Sugar or Cheeni - 1/2 small cup (100 grams)
  • Water or Pani - 1/2 small cup
  • Cardamom Powder or Chhoti Elaichi Powder - 1 tea spoon

Procedure for making Chhena Murki:

  1. Take fresh paneer available in market. Remove it from the cover and wash the paneer as one piece with clean water once. Your can use any available fresh paneer for making Chhena Murki. (Here, I have used Amul Paneer for making Chhena Murki.)
  2. Cut out small pieces of desired shape from the paneer. Your can cut out square or rectangle pieces using a knife or stensil. For round pieces use a stensil/sharp edged cup or glass.
  3. Now heat a heavy based kadhai, and add sugar and water to it. Stir continuously and allow the sugar to dissolve in water . Cook the sugar syrup in this manner over high flame for 5 minutes. You will see that the sugar syrup has attained a thick consistency.
  4. Lower the flame and then check if the sugar syrup has become sticky with the help of spoon and your fingers. (Be careful not to burn your self while doing this process.) Cook for some more time if the sugar syrup is still not sticky. Then lower the flame.
  5. Now add paneer pieces into the hot chashini or sugar syrup (2 at a time) and continue to stir.
  6. Add remaining paneer pieces in the same manner and continue to stir. After 3-4 minutes you will see that the sugar syrup has become thicker in consistency and the paneer pieces appear golden red on the surface.
  7. At this point increase the flame and stir rigourously from the base of the kadhai. All the sugar syrup will dry up in 2-3 . minutes.
  8. Now transfer the prepared chhena murki. Garnish with cardamom powder and pistachios and serve.

छेना मुर्की बनाने की प्रक्रिया:

  1. बाजार में उपलब्ध ताजा पनीर लें। इसे कवर से हटा दें और पनीर को साफ पानी से धो लें। आप छेना मुर्की बनाने के लिए कोई भी उपलब्ध ताजा पनीर का उपयोग कर सकते हैं। (यहां, मैंने छेना मुर्की बनाने के लिए अमूल पनीर का उपयोग किया है।)
  2. पनीर को मन चाहे आकार के छोटे टुकड़ों में काट लें। वर्ग या आयताकार टुकड़े काटने केलिए आप एक चाकू या स्टेनसिल का उपयोग कर सकते हैं। गोल टुकड़ों के लिए एक स्टेनलेस / तेज किनारों वाला कप या कटोरी का उपयोग करें।
  3. अब एक मोटे आधार की कढ़ाई को गर्म करें, और इसमें चीनी और पानी डालें। लगातार चलाएं और चीनी को पानी में घुलने दें। 5 मिनट के लिए तेज आंच पर चाशिनी को इस तरह से पकनें दें। आप देखेंगे की चाशिनी गाढ़ी हो चुकी होगी।
  4. आंच को कम कर दें और फिर छूकर देखें की चाशिनी चिपचिपी हो गयी है या नहीं।
  5. अब गर्म चाशिनी में पनीर के टुकड़े (एक समय में 2) डालें और चलाते रहें।
  6. शेष पनीर के टुकड़ों को भी इसी तरीके से डालें और लगातार चलाते रहें। 3-4 मिनट के बाद आप देखेंगे कि चाशिनी गाढ़ी हो चुकी होगी और पनीर के टुकड़े भी सुनहरे लाल होगये होंगे।
  7. इस समय आंच तेज कर लें और कढ़ाई के तली से कलछुल को सटाकर लगातर चलते रहें। 2-3 मिनट में पूरी चाशिनी सूख जाएगी।
  8. अब तैयार छेना मुर्की को एक सुन्दर थाली में निकाल लें। इलायची पाउडर और पिस्ता के साथ गार्निश और परोसें।
