Fresh Bengal Chhena

West Bengal

Milk curdled with food-grade acid and drained just enough to hold shape, without pressing it into a firm block the way paneer is.

Why it matters

Chhena is kneaded while still slightly warm until it turns almost elastic — that kneading is what lets the rasgulla balls puff up smooth and crack-free in sugar syrup instead of turning grainy.
