For making chena- Take milk in a vessel with heavy base and allow it to boil. When milk starts boiling, take it off flame and allow it cool a bit. Mix some water in lemon juice and when milk cools a bit, add lemon juice into it little by little and keep stirring. When milk and chena separates, then stop adding lemon juice into it.
