Chena poda pitha, is a very popular dessert from Orissa. You will find it served in puja's, at dinner, for snacks or whenever you have some craving for sweets. The original was made from Chana, or curdled milk, but nowadays Ricotta cheese is the fasted way to make it.

Sorry Mala. Missed these fine details.
ReplyDeleteThe temp is in fareinheit and I would guesstimate 1/4 cup of butter (melted).
Some even add color or flavor- like rose water etc.
Hope it turns out to be good.
