Here’s a simple recipe for homemade sour cream using hung curd, Gusto’s lime juice, and salt:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup hung curd (strained yogurt)
- 1 tablespoon Gusto’s lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
Instructions:
- Start by preparing the hung curd. To do this, line a fine mesh sieve or colander with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Place the sieve over a bowl to catch any liquid that drains out.
- Spoon the yogurt into the lined sieve or colander.
- Allow the yogurt to drain for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator. The longer it drains, the thicker the resulting sour cream will be.
- Once the yogurt has drained and thickened to your desired consistency, transfer it to a mixing bowl.
- Add Gusto’s lime juice and salt to the hung curd.
- Stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
- Taste the sour cream and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice or salt according to your preference.
- Transfer the homemade sour cream to a clean container with a tight-fitting lid.
- Refrigerate the sour cream for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve chilled sour cream as a topping for tacos, baked potatoes, nachos, or any other dish where you would typically use sour cream.
Enjoy your homemade sour cream made with hung curd, Gusto’s lime juice, and a touch of salt!
