Ingredients:
Curds-400 g
Muslin cloth or cheese cloth to hang curds
A ribbon to tie or a pinch clip  like the one which I used



Method:

  1. Transfer the curds into the centre of the  muslin cloth.
  2. Tie it tightly with a ribbon or a clip.
  3. Hang it over the place where there is height for nearly 5-6 hours until the water stops dripping completely.
  4. You will get a dry crumble like cheese or paneer,and that is the hung curds.
  5. You may use it as sour cream by adding little  salt and a dash of lime.
  6. You may also take a vessel,keep a strainer on the vessel,add curds,assemble the cloth together and tie it,if you are doing it for the first time.
  7. I hang the curds just  above my sink where I luckily have a provision to tie and the dripped liquid directly goes into the sink.

  1. We get thick curds here but I am sure it may not stand great compared to home-made hung curd 🙂
