Method:

• Start by lining a strainer with the muslin cloth. Place a bowl beneath it.
• Add curd, and let the whey pass through the muslin cloth and strainer. It will take about 30-45 minutes.
• Squeeze out the whey a bit by using your hands. Now place the entire set-up in the refrigerator for 4 to 5hours.
• Your hung curd is ready.
• On the other side, peel and chop the cucumber, onions, green chilies, and chives and add them to a bowl.
• Whenever you’d like to use it, take hung curd out of the refrigerator, add chopped ingredients, salt, and pepper to it, mix well and it is good to use.
