Hi Dishi,
The process for making ricotta cheese (btw – different from the store bought cottage cheese) is similar to paneer but somehow, the store bought ricotta cheese texture is slightly different and softer than paneer.

you can use home made paneer (don’t squeeze out too much whey though), in fact the original dish from Oria region of assam (Chenna Podha) is calling for homemade fresh chenna (Paneer) only.

Hi Anuja/Hetal,
Thanks for showing the recipe. This desert is called chhena Poda and its a very popular and old sweet dish in Orissa. Oriya people prepare it regularly at home or restaurants.
Generally we prefer to prepare the Ricotta Cheese (Chhenna) at home as that makes the Chhena Poda much better than the earlier.

Take a cooker, add 6-8 cups of Sand n spread it evenly… now swith on the flame for high for 10 mins..
now place the cake mixture pan on the sand. cover the cooker lid.. make sure the weight (whistle) & gasket (rubber ring) is removed from the lid… n cook on medium flame. (time i dont know) i can say, u can remove the lid n see in between the edges r brown (or) insert a tooth pick stick n take out so dat it comes clean…

This cake is meant to be on the flatter side. Though we have not tried baking it in a bread loaf pan, we fear that the baking time and texture will be quite different.

Hi Ladies,
I just had to try this recipe! I mixed half the batter with saffron and half with cardamom and baked it side by side in the same dish. I did put nuts in it but no raisins or cranberries.
My cake tasted like a rich milky “Satyanarayan no shiro”! Is this how it is supposed to taste? I could feel the texture of the suji. The sweetness was just right for me.
I love all your recipes. Thanks!

I think recipes like these are & will always be a hit as it is very simple &easy to make, you cam always try to be alittle bit more daring & add other herbs, the Mexican VEET cheese you get in USA would really lift the taste .

January 6th, 2011 at 4:15 pm
Hi Sunita,
Cheese is a very tricky subject for vegetarians. Many of the hard cheeses contain rennet, a natural enzyme found in the stomach lining of cows. However, we believe that the process to make ricotta cheese is similar to paneer and therefore does not require this enzyme. You would have to check with the manufacturer of the brand to be exactly certain.

Arrey, no problem at all. So far, whatever recipes I have tried, we liked most of them. Milk cake and the asparagus sabzi has been the only two items we did not LOVE. They were still okay though. Rest of the items came out AWESOME:)
I actually feel very bad putting down any criticism – even if it is constructive. You both work so hard to get these recipes to us and it doesn’t seem fair to you girls. I wish this cake was not called the “milk-cake” – something me and my hubby adore. Our expectations would have been different then:)

We’ve been addicted to this cake after I found the recipe! I’ve been baking it every day this week: in bigger pans (thinner cake) and smaller pans (thicker cake),with lemon zest or almond extract. I couldn’t find semolina in our HEB stores and used regular flour instead. It works! I recommend using lots of dry fruit (we love raisin/cranberry mix!)and skip the nuts. Nuts, even roasted, get soggy, while dried fruit regains moisture and becomes more palatable.
Thank you, girls, for this great recipe!

Hi Hetal & Anuja,
Have you, or maybe someone else, tried to use rosewater in this recipe? I wonder if that will turn out good.

Hi Kajal,
Rose water is pretty mild so a little bit will probably taste good.

Made this milk cake with panner now. Had to give it a good hand kneading. I didn’t get the consistency shown in your video to pour into the baking dish, before baking. Even then it came out very well (slight crust outside and soft inside). Perfect sweetness also. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Hetal n Anuja,
Could you please post the pressure cooker method of making a cake? I don’t have an oven @ home. My son likes cakes and I would be happy to prepare it on my own for him.
Regards,
Devi

Hi Neetu,
When working with microwave recipes, the power level of your microwave affects the outcome greatly. You may have to cook it for longer.

Hi Haley,
Most places have an Indian grocery store. That would be the best place to find sooji. If not, it is called semolina so you might be able to find it in a regular grocery store.

Hello Hetal,
I tried this recipe and I have to say it taste amazing.Once it’s baked it looks so good. It’s not too sweet either, so it’s perfect for people who wants less sweet.
