Chena Roll is a dessert consisting of soft bread rolled out with mawa filling immersed in creamy milk. It is a bread roll served with sweetened and thickened milk with chopped nuts, flavored rose water.
Soft, sweet chena roll garnished with creamy milk and tutti frutti make up a great dessert for special occasions. It is easy to make but little time-consuming.
Like Rasgullas or Rasmalai is also made with homemade cheese known as “paneer” or “chena”. Chena Roll is made with bread and instead of being soaked in sugar syrup like Rasgullas. It is soaked in sweet, flavored milk like rasmalai.
