Hanging Curd Recipe

Curd that is hung is none other than a thick dadih from which all the water has been removed. This recipe only uses one ingredient that is a homemade dadih. I’ve shared how to make a dadih at home on my blog.

Curd is a good source of probiotics that promote good intestinal health. Making dadih hung at home does not require skills or special tools, only dadih, strain and squeeze all water out. It produces thick dadih and cream similar to cream cheese.

Curd is hung

Hung Dadih is one of the most versatile ingredients in hand. You can make a good desert from it by mixing it with sugar and several other items. See my Shrikhand recipe. Believe it or not, I made my cream cheese frosting using this, because I couldn’t find cream cheese in my place. I made this last week because I made a special mango desert using this.

What is Dadih

Curd is a dairy product made by fermenting milk with a little dadih that was previously set, which acts as a bacterium. This process involves curbing milk into a thick and soft texture. Curd is one of the staples used in Indian households to make rice, raita, and dip. Curd is also known as “forehead” in Hindi and “Thayir” in Tamil.

About the hung dadih

Curd Hung is a thick dadih and cream similar to cream cheese. The dadih process is hung involving water tension (whey) from the dadih. Making a hung dadih does not involve special equipment or tools, only muslin cloth, homemade dadih and more than enough bowls!

Hung Curd is a versatile recipe that can be used to make sweet and savory recipes such as Misti Doi, Shrikhand, Sandwich, Sauce, Salad Sauce, and Kebab.

This hung curd also functions well for cream cheese recipes and cheesecake recipes.

Curd Hung is known for its smooth texture and rich in protein. Because it is a thick dadih, it won’t make the recipe too runny or watery like ordinary dadih.

Ingredients

Homemade Curd: I have used a homemade that is very set by the cream dadih to make a hung dadih. Curd is one of the staples in many households and I have also shared posts on my blog about how to make homemade dadih with detailed tips and tricks.

Shop buying Dadih: You can also use the curd purchased at the store. Important points to remember when choosing a shop purchased are that it must be a dadih fat for good quality and also not too acidic.

The tools needed to make the dadih hung

Muslin cloth or cheese: Use good quality muslin cloth to attract dadih. It must be clean and dry. For a substitute, try with a kitchen paper towel.

Filter: Use a fine mesh filter or use a yogurt filter box available in stores and online.

Bowl: Use a bowl to collect water (whey).

Heavy object: To withstand its shape, use heavy objects such as lid, pestle or a bowl of water. Place the weight over the cloth that is covered with cloth and set it in the refrigerator.

Hacks & Extra Tips

Don’t waste whey: Tense water from high protein and nutritional dadih. So don’t throw away, instead of using water for cooking curry, rice, rasam and also to knead the dough.

Muslin fabric: The quality of the fabric is truly important in making Dadih hanging. If the cloth is too thick, the water will not flow properly. Also muslin cloth or cheese cloth must be completely clean and dry before starting the process.

Placing weight: Place a heavy bowl, cover or pestle mortar on the dadih bundle to lock it tightly and store it in the refrigerator.

Instant dessert: Want to satisfy your sweet desires that suddenly, then this hung dadih will come to save. Mix the dadih hung with sugar, cardamom, and turmeric to make instant shrikhand. This is a delicious and soft dessert.
