MAKING

1.     Start by heating up the milk in a pan stirring regularly till it gets a boil. Shut off the flame, and let it cool for a minute.

2.     Slowly pour in the diluted lemon juice stirring well until it separates into whey and cheese/chenna.

3.     As soon as the milk curdles, strain it over a cheesecloth/muslin cloth which is lined in a colander over a bowl.

5.     In a deep and wide vessel/pan add in 9 cups of water along with the sugar free substitute. Heat it up till it gets a roaring boil.

6.     Once the chenna has been dripping the moisture for 30 minutes, take it out and see if it lightly crumbles and breaks its ready otherwise squeeze out the moisture from it. There needs to be a little bit of moisture in the chenna, but it should not be wet either.
