Ingredients

  • Fresh full cream milk (2 liters)

  • Vinegar or lemon juice (4 tbsp.)

  • Saffron strands (8 to 10)

  • Green cardamom powder (1/4 tsp.)

  • Granulated sugar (5 tbsp. or according to your taste and preference of sugar)

  • Add saffron strands to infuse a sweet scent, stirring occasionally.

  • Draining and Setting
  • Keep it for around 3 minutes and then pour the cottage cheese on a muslin cloth or cheesecloth.
