Dahi Chena is a fresh dairy product made by curdling milk to separate solid milk proteins from liquid whey. It is soft, moist, and slightly crumbly in texture. To make dahi chena, fresh milk is boiled and then mixed with lemon juice, vinegar, or curd. The milk curdles, and the solids are collected and lightly pressed to remove excess water.
Dahi chena is widely used in Indian cooking, especially in making sweets like rasgulla, sandesh, and chamcham. It has a mild taste, which easily absorbs flavors from sugar or spices. Chena is rich in protein and calcium, making it a healthy ingredient when eaten in moderation.
Because it is fresh and natural, dahi chena should be used soon after preparation. It is valued for its softness, purity, and versatility in traditional Indian dishes.
