Ingredients:
For Cham Cham:
Full cream milk – 1 litre
Lemon juice – 2 tbsp (mixed with 2 tbsp water)
Water – 4 cups
Sugar – 1.5 cups
Cardamom pods – 3-4
For Mango Malai:
Fresh mango pulp – 1 cup
Khoya / Mawa – ½ cup (grated)
Condensed milk – 2 tbsp
Cardamom powder – ½ tsp
Saffron strands (optional) – a few
Chopped pistachios – for garnish
Instructions:
Step 1: Make Chhena (Cottage Cheese)
Boil the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan.
Once it starts boiling, lower the flame and add lemon juice slowly while stirring.
When the milk curdles and separates, strain it using a muslin cloth.
Wash the chhena under cold water to remove lemon flavor, and hang it for 30–40 mins to drain excess water.
Step 2: Prepare Cham Cham
Knead the chhena until smooth and make oval shapes.
In a wide pan, boil 4 cups water with 1.5 cups sugar and cardamom pods.
Add the oval chhena pieces gently into the syrup and cook for 15–18 minutes covered on medium flame.
Let them cool completely in the syrup.
Step 3: Prepare Mango Malai Filling
In a pan, cook khoya on low heat for 2–3 minutes.
Add mango pulp, condensed milk, saffron (if using), and cardamom powder.
Stir until it becomes thick and spreadable. Cool completely.
Step 4: Assemble the Cham Cham Delights
Take each cham cham, gently slit lengthwise (do not cut fully).
Stuff with prepared mango malai filling using a spoon or piping bag.
Garnish with chopped pistachios and saffron strands.
Chill & Serve:
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. These Mango Malai Cham Cham are rich, fruity, and absolutely perfect for summer celebrations or festive desserts.
