How to Make Hung Curd

  • Place your strainer on a wide bowl. Now place your cheese cloth or muslin cloth on it.
  • Pour the curd/yogurt on it. On an average a liter of milk makes about four to five cups of yogurt.
  • You can use any plain and fresh yogurt. Try and look for a brand that is high on fat.
  • I make my own yogurt at home with full cream milk.
  • Please ensure that the curd/yogurt is not sour at all.
  • Please ensure that the curd/yogurt is not sour at all.
    Hung curd for shrikhand
  • Bring the edges of the muslin cloth close to each other. Now tie one corner around it. Make sure it is tight.
  • Press gently and the whey will start dripping from the cloth.
  • If you have a hook in you refrigerator then hang it there, with a bowl below. Or hang it anywhere in the kitchen and leave a bowl below it.
  • Forget about it for at least four to five hours. Don’t worry if you forget about it and remember it in the morning it will be just fine.
  • When you hang the cloth ensure that the whey does not touch the strainer or cloth.
  • When the curd is ready remove it from the cloth and put in a sealed container in the fridge.
  •  Don’t throw the whey you can use it any gravy or while making brown rice.
  • The hung curd should resemble cream cheese. Generally a kilogram or four cups of curd will yield about 400gms of hung curd.

Making Procedure for Keto Shrikhand

  • Take a tbsp of warm milk add a few strands of kesar or saffron and keep aside.
  • Pound four to five green cardamoms or use 2 tea spoons of cardamom powder, keep it aside.
  • Remove the hung curd/yogurt from the fridge and transfer it to a bowl.
  • Add your choice of sweetener and stir lightly with a spatula. I use stevia drops.
  • Now add the saffron and milk that you had kept aside earlier. Add the cardamom.
  • Use an electric blender or whip to beat the hung curd.
  • Whip till it gets a very smooth consistency.
  • Check the sweetness and add more if required.
  • Now place this bowl in the fridge again.
  • Let it chill in the fridge for two hours.
  • Garnish with some slivers of almond before serving.
