Method
Step 1 For the chhenna, bring the milk to a boil over high heat. Set aside to cool slightly to 77°C/170°F.
Step 2 Mix the vinegar in one and three-fourth cups of water and add to the hot milk. Stir lightly till the milk curdles. Add three to four cups of water and a few ice cubes and stir.
Step 3 Strain the chhenna through a piece of muslin and squeeze to remove all the water. You should have 250 grams of chhenna.
Step 4 Transfer the chhenna onto a worktop. Mix together half teaspoon of refined flour and the cornflour and add to the chhenna. Knead, pressing with the heel of your hand, till the mixture is smooth.
Step 5 Divide into twenty-five portions and roll into balls and then press lightly to make patties, taking care that there are no cracks. Mix the remaining refined flour with half a cup of water and set aside.
