Soft homemade cream cheese or chenna is shaped
into balls and simmered in syrup to make a simple but richly satisfying dessert. Silver leaf
is sometimes used for decoration.
Prepare the syrup by bringing the water and
sugar to a boil and allow to cool and set aside.
Combine the chenna and flour and shape
into balls.
Reheat syrup to boiling then add the balls and
simmer for approx. 20 minutes.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the syrup every 5
minutes to replace the water lost by evaporation; this is important to avoid having the
syrup thickening.
When the balls are cooked, remove from the
syrup, drain and keep covered in water until required
Serve with 2 tablespoons of the syrup poured
over the top.
