How to make ' hung curd '

To make hung curd, you need almost double curd of the actual quantity required. So if the recipe says '2 cups hung curd', you need about 3.5 to 4 cups to begin with

The quantity varies as different curd types have varying water content.

Next, take a large sieve and place it over a deep bowl . The diameter of the bowl should be the same as the sieve so that the sieve does not touch the bottom of the bowl.

Pour the curd into the sieve and place the sieve along with the bowl , into the fridge for 2-3 hours. The water will collect in the bowl and the thick 'hung' curd will remain in the sieve.

The water can be used for making buttermilk, so don't throw it away.
