Notes
Once you mix all the ingredients in the Chenna, mash it properly using your hands for 3 to 5 minutes for the best results. Do not miss on this step, this is very important.
The Chenna should have a little moisture in the same, before cooking. Yes, squeeze all the water, but it should still be a little moist.
Do not cook chenna for more time, it will become crumbly and grainy.
Use a clean cloth to make Chenna.
