It is desirable that the kefir is not very cold. Before cooking cottage cheese, you can take it out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
Step 2
When the kefir warms up slightly after the refrigerator, you need to pour the kefir into a deep plastic or glass cup and put it in the microwave for 20 minutes at 450W, or another medium power that your microwave has, if you like cottage cheese tender and soft, like curd paste … If you prefer cooler cottage cheese with grains, then the temperature should be chosen slightly above average. Kefir should curl up.
Step 3
After 20 minutes have passed and the kefir curdles, you need to flip the contents of the container through a sieve or gauze cloth and wait until the whey drains from the curd.
Step 4
After cooling and straining the whey, the curd is ready. From 1 liter of kefir, about 200-220 grams of cottage cheese is obtained. If you use kefir with a fat content of 2.5%, then the fat content of the whole cottage cheese will turn out to be about 12%.
