Chenna Poda, also known as Baked Cheese Cake, is a traditional Odia dessert made with fresh cottage cheese (chenna), sugar, and cardamom. The chenna is mixed with sugar and cardamom powder, shaped into a cake, and baked until golden brown. The result is a deliciously caramelized and slightly smoky dessert with a soft and creamy texture. Chenna Poda is often served as a sweet treat during festivals and special occasions in Odisha.
