Method to make Hung Curd

• Take a bowl.
• Place a sieve, whose diameter is the same as that of the bowl, on the bowl so that it rests on it.
• Spread a muslin cloth on a sieve.
• Pour yoghurt onto the muslin cloth. Slowly, the excess water in the yoghurt will pass through the muslin cloth and the sieve and collect in the bowl.
• Tie a knot and hang the cloth so all the excess water drains out and collects in the bowl below. Leave it like that for an hour.
• You will notice water dripping through the pores of the muslin cloth.
• Then, place the knotted cloth on the sieve and rest the sieve on a bowl. Keep a heavy weight on the cloth and keep the setup in the fridge for 8-10 hours. This way, all the excess water that drips from the curd/yoghurt will collect in the bowl.
• After 8-10 hours, remove the weight and open the knot. Inside, you will find thick, creamy hung curd/yoghurt.
• Transfer it to a bowl with a lid. Cover and keep it in the fridge till further use.
