Chhena Jilabi

Merry Christmas! And here's a sweetheart from Orissa - Chhena Jilabi!

You'll need:

* 2 cups chhena (easily available at any halwai)
* 1/2 cup maida
* 1 cup sugar
* 1/2 tsp baking powder
* 1 tbsp ghee
* Rosewater
* Cooking oil

Let's get started!

1. Firstly, squeeze out the water from the chhena. Now, mix the maida, baking powder & ghee, and add the chhena to it. 

2. Then, mash this by hand & keep aside for half and hour. After this, divide this mixture in 10 parts.

3. Tricky Part - Make 6 cm long rolls out of each part, and make it into jilabis (what fin without the complicated cone!)

4. Now, add 1 cup water to the sugar & boil it to make the sugar syrup aka chaashni. Make sure the chaashni is thin; like thread thin.

5. Then, heat the cooking oil in a kadhai & fry the jilabis over a low flame.

6. Finally, dip the jilabis in the chaashni.

CJs done!! TipToEat - Serve hot jilabis with cold rabdi. Yum!!
