About Chenna
Chenna, a fresh, unaged form of Indian cottage cheese, is a staple ingredient in Indian cuisine, particularly renowned in Bengali sweets like sandesh and rasgulla. Made by curdling milk with an acid like lemon juice or vinegar, chenna is soft and crumbly in texture. Packed with protein and essential nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus, and B vitamins, it supports bone health and muscle repair. As a dairy product, it provides energy and satiation but is relatively low in unhealthy fats, making it a wholesome choice for balanced diets. However, its nutritional value depends on preparation, as dishes incorporating chenna can vary in sugar and fat content. Opting for fresh or lightly seasoned dishes with chenna can maximize its health benefits while avoiding excess calories from added sweetening agents or frying methods typical in some recipes.
