How To Make Cottage Cheese


Homemade Cottage Cheese Recipe

Things Required:
1 liter milk (either full cream or toned)
½ tsp lemon juice or citric acid
½ cup water
A clean muslin cloth
Directions:
Take a large pan and put milk in it. Place it on medium flame and bring to a boil.
Take a cup of warm water and dissolve the citric acid or lemon juice in it.
Pour this mixture onto the boiling milk and keep stirring.
Lower the flame and continue stirring till the milk gets thickened.
Once the curd chunks start floating in the yellowish whey/milk plasma and gets completely separated, remove the bowl from the heat.
Next, strain or filter the mixture through a clean muslin cloth.
Tie the cloth with the curdled pieces inside it so that it forms a pouch.
Place this tied pouch under tap water for two minutes.
Now, remove the excess water and hang the cloth for about 20 minutes, so that the whey is completely drained out.
Take a heavy object and place it on top of the pouch, to form a slab.
Finally, take out the slab and cut small cubes out of it or simply scrape it into thick pieces.
Refrigerate
