Ingredients
  

  • 1 litre Full fat milk
  • 1 cup Malai or cream
  • 4 tbsp Vinegar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 6 tbsp water

Instructions
 

  • Take a heavy bottomed pan and add 2 tbsp of water in it. Water will prevent milk from burning.
  • Add 1 litre milk.
  • Then add 1 cup malai and pinch of salt.
  • Leave milk for boiling.
  • In the meantime, mix 4 tbsp vinegar and 4 tbsp water. Mix and keep aside.
  • When the milk begins to boil, add 2 tbsp of vinegar water. Stir the milk.
  • If the milk is not curdled yet, add more 2 tbsp of vinegar water. Stir.
  • Milk curdled in 4 tbsp of vinegar water so the leftover vinegar water wasn't used.
  • Wash the chenna by pouring a water over it to remove the taste an smell of vinegar.
  • Switch off the heat and let milk rest for 5 minutes.
  • Put a sieve over a bowl and place a Muslin cloth on the sieve.
  • Pour the curdled milk over the cloth.
  • Milk solids/chenna will collect in the cloth and water, which is called whey water will pass on to the bowl.
  • Let it remain there for 15 minutes without squeezing because we need moist chenna.
  • Transfer this chenna into a grinder jar.
  • Blitz for couple of seconds.
  • Scrap the sides of the jar.
  • Blitz again.
  • Add some tbsp of whey water if you feel that the consistency of cream cheese is not coming fine.
  • Blitz and add water as many times and as much needed.
  • Finally a smooth cream cheese is ready.
  • Store it in airtight container and place in refrigerator.
