Chena murki is a 4-ingredient, super simple Indian sweet with a particular flavor combination (sugar and cardamom) that speaks my language. And it takes no time to make, so it is an ideal Diwali recipe to make at home! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chena<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Chena murki sweets are a huge favorite of my husband. The dense but crumbly texture of paneer coated in a crunchy sugary crust tempts you to eat more than you should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, chena murki is so tiny that some semblance of portion control is possible! I also find them a little dangerous because they are so easy and quick to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It takes about 5 to 6 minutes to reach the one-thread consistency of the sugar syrup, depending on how hot your stove gets. And about 8 to 10 minutes to cook the paneer. Overall, it\u2019s one of the quickest Diwali sweets I\u2019ve made this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IS SWEET CHENNA MURKI?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Chena murki<\/a> is a very very popular paneer sweet recipe. It\u2019s made with cubed pieces of paneer or chena (or what parts of the world call Indian cottage cheese<\/a>) cooked in sugar syrup and cardamom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW TO MAKE CHENA MURKI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The video for making Chena Murki is below. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> In a pan, boil water and sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Continue to cook the mixture until it reaches one-string consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Boil<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the diced paneer and cardamom powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Add<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Keep stirring continuously but gently, so the paneer cubes are nicely coated and don\u2019t stick to the pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5:<\/strong> Keep on cooking (that\u2019s pretty much all there is to this Bengali sweet recipe). The sugar syrup begins to thicken, reduce, and then crystallize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6:<\/strong> As the sugar begins to take on a powder form, take the chenna murki off the heat, but keep stirring till the sugar syrup completely cools and crystallizes further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 7:<\/strong> Right when the sugar begins to harden, it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 8:<\/strong> Either strain the chena murki sweets to remove the clumpy bits of excess sugar, or simply pick up each piece and set it aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final step:<\/strong> Serve!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
