Take 200gm. cottage cheese in a plate (after removing the moisture)

Add 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour (Maida) in it

Mix and Knead it well

Add 1 tbsp. semolina

Knead well by rubbing with your palm, so that the flour and semolina will mix with chhena properly.

Add crushed green cardamom seeds in the kneaded dough for adding aromatic flavor

Mix it well and flatten the kneaded cheese in a flatbed plate

Cut it into equal sizes and keep aside

In pan add 150 gm sugar and 100 ml water and make it boil and prepare sugar syrup till 1 string. ( it will take around 5 minutes in medium flame)

Add the chhena pieces in boiled sugar syrup

make it boil in low flame for 5 to 7 minutes so that the syrup will be absorbed in the cheese pieces.

Chhena Kata is cooked properly. Now switch off the flame.

Remove it to a plate by keeping it separate in plate otherwise it will stick with each other.

Chhena Kata is ready to serve. I have added few crushed cardamom to garnish
