Homemade thick and creamy hung yogurt
Ingredients
  • 500 ml yogurt/thick sweet curd
Others:
  • A strainer
  • A clean muslin cloth
  • A deep mixing bowl
Method
  1. On a deep bowl, keep a strainer which stands on it such that the strainer's base does not touch the base of the bowl
  2. Line it with a clean muslin cloth
  3. Pour in the yogurt into the muslin cloth slowly
  4. Whey starts dripping out of the yogurt and gets collected in the bowl
  5. Keep this bowl along with strainer, cloth and yogurt in refrigerator overnight. Whey continues to drip out and beautiful set creamy hung curd remains inside the muslin cloth
  6. Scrape hung curd into another bowl
  7. Use it to make dishes like shrikhand, dips or as low fat spread
Notes
Use yogurt which is not sour

Use yogurt made from whole milk/full cream milk

Use whey to thin curries (1-2 tbsp) and to make chapathi dough or even water your plants (curry leaf plants love yogurt and whey)
