Chenna Poda is a cheese dessert from the state of Odisha in the Eastern India which means Roasted Cheese in Odia. It is made of well-kneaded homemade fresh cheese chenna, sugar, cashew nuts and raisins and is baked for several hours until it turns brown. Chenna Poda is the only well known Indian dessert whose flavour is predominantly derived from the caramelization of sugar. It is a soft and pillowy dessert loaded with the goodness of chenna, which is a rich source of protein too.

Serve Chenna Poda with Masala Chai and Whole Moong Dal Vada as a evening snack. Or serve it along with your party meal of Mumbai Style Tawa Pulao Cauliflower and Vegetable Curry and Carrot Cucumber Tomato Salad with Lemon and Coriander.
