Cham Cham

 Chamcham 

(A sweet made of paneer /Chena)



Good day everyone!!

Today sharing a sweet dish made of paneer .Its a famous Bengali sweet which I have eaten in restaurants many times . So one fine day I thought of trying this sweet in my kitchen. I don't know if I really got that authentic taste or not but I can assure you that these sweets tasted yum .The two highlights of this sweet that I made is that firstly I used toned milk to make paneer/cheese and secondly I made homemade mava with milk powder (this recipe I shall share later).I didn't have dry coconut powder so I used fresh scraped coconut and dry roasted in a Kadai .

INGREDIENTS

Toned Milk - 1 Litre 

Sugar - 1 cup 

Water - 4 cups 

Homemade mava -For filling 

Tutti Frutti - For topping

Dry coconut -1 tbsp (for topping)

STEP BY STEP RECIPE 

Boil 1 toned Litre milk (toned or full cream).

After 4-5 minutes curdle the milk with help of curd or lemon juice .(I used 1 lemon juice in 1/2 cup plain water)

Strain the paneer/ Chena with cloth and wash with water.

Let the water drain for 10 minutes.

Then mash the paneer well with palms of hands .

Make elongated shapes with paneer.There must not be any cracks.

Take sugar in a pan .Add water and let it come to rolling boil.



Add ready paneer balls and close the lid .Let it boil for 10-15 minutes in medium heat.

The paneer pieces must have absorbed the sugar syrup by now.




Slit the paneer pieces and add homemade sweet mawa.





If you have  dry coconut powder sprinkle them on top .I didn't have it so slightly dry roasted freshly scraped coconut in pan and sprinkled on top.


Lastly decorate the paneer pieces with tutti frutti or dryfruits of your choice . Yummy cham-cham is ready to be eaten. You can serve it chilled for better taste.


With this recipe you will get bite size 10-12 mini chamchams  .If you make it little bigger like original one you may get around 6-7 pieces.

Do try this recipe in your kitchen.
