Spoiled Milk Recipe | Homemade Cottage Cheese

  • Heat deep pan/ Kadai on medium flame
  • Pour milk in pan and wait till it starts boiling.
  • Add ½ of lemon juice to milk and wait for some more time
    Note: If your milk is already spoiled, then no need to add lemon juice.
  • After sometime, you can see the milk lumps are getting separated from water.
  • When you see the water clearly turn off the stove and allow it for 5 to 10 minutes to cool down.
  • Afterwards, take strainer and place the thin cotton cloth over it and pour the content slowly.
  • Allow the water to drain for few minutes.
  • Pour some fresh cold water to settle it and wash away lemon taste.
  • Gather the corners of cloth and squeeze the content till bottom.
    Tip: This will remove the excess of water from the content, repeat it 2-3 times.
  • Afterwards, tie a knot and keep it in plate.
    Tip: Make sure the knot is tight, this will remove the remaining water.
  • Place some heavy weight above the content and leave it for 10 hours.
    Note: Placing weight will not only help in squeezing the excess water but also give shape to the cheese.
  • Now place the entire setup in refrigerator.
    Tip: Refrigerator will allow the content to firm up, otherwise it will crumble easily while cutting.
