After about 3 to 4 minutes, strain the curdled milk onto a cheesecloth or a cloth strainer

Let it drip and drain until all the whey has drained out and we have thick cottage cheese (chenna)
- 8
This will take a few hours
- 9
So proceed to the next steps once the chenna is ready
- 10
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 liter milk in a heavy bottom pan and cook on medium heat till the milk has reduced to half
liter milk - full cream milk(3) - 11
Keep stirring the milk occasionally to prevent the milk from getting settled at the bottom of the pan
liter milk - full cream milk(3) - 12
Once the milk has reduced to half its quantity, add the 1/2 cup sugar, a pinch of orange color and orange essence to the reduced milk and keep this aside

- 19
Once the chenna is soft, shape the chenna into 12 to 15 small balls and flatten them slightly
