Dietary cottage cheese at home
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Making cottage cheese from kefir is very simple. To make it diet-friendly, use kefir with a fat content of no more than 2.5%. From one liter of kefir, you'll get 200–220 grams of cottage cheese. Additionally, you'll have about 700 grams of excellent whey, which can be used to make pancakes, blinis, or cold soup (okroshka). Serve chilled.
