Once it starts boiling pour the curd on it. Let the milk curdle. Turn off the heat and leave it for 2 mins.
Once the milk is curdled, strain it and collect the chenna and pour cold water over the chenna/cheese to prevent from further cooking.
Now filter and collect the cheese in a cheese cloth or muslin cloth. Let the water drain completely.
Squeeze it and drain off the water. Your chenna is ready. Crumble it and keep aside.
Now in a pan bring ½ litre milk to a boil and continue to boil till it reduces to half of it.
