Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Plain yogurt
  • Cheesecloth
  • A bowl

Method
 

  1. Stream a cup of yogurt in cloth, and to make the whey separate and drain out, squeeze it tightly and pack.
  2. Put it on the bowl; you can keep it for the duration you want (You will get thicker curd if you maintain it for a more extended period)
  3. Inspect after some time; the hung curd is all prepared if you get the desired consistency and complete whey has drained out.

Notes

A single cup of yogurt can produce about half a cup of hung curd after straining for 8 to 12 hours. So you can get 1/3 cup of cream cheese substitute in a single cup if you keep it for two days.
