How to Make Curd Cheese at Home.

Curd cheese is very similar to cream cheese but with a lower fat content in it. This can be used in Cheesecakes recipe instead of cream cheese which is very expensive. It gives the same rich texture. The idea of using curd cheese in cheesecakes is very economical, now you can make them too while staying in your budget (P.S. I'll be posting a cheesecake recipe very soon, Insha'Allah! ;)). 


Anyway, let me begin with the instruction. 

1. Take ½ kg curd. Put it in a muslin bag, hang it above a bowl and leave it to drip for at least 3 hours.
2. Remove the dried curd from the bag after 3 hours and put it in the fridge. Use according to the recipe.
3. ½ kg curd gives you approx a cup full of curd cheese.

You can also use this as a spread. Add your favorite seasoning in curd cheese and spread it on toast and enjoy as breakfast or snack. My favorite is freshly chopped garlic and mint leaves. Please keep it in airtight container in the refrigerator if you're going to use it as spread. Use within a week.
