Q. Whey made by curdling milk.. Whey made by hanging curds.. Are both the same whey?
A. No, both are different. But curdling milk, you get whey. This is the water separated by boiling and curdling. By hanging curds, you get plain water in the curd.

Simple yet protein packed recipe. It makes use of whey which is normally discarded by people after making paneer. Taste is mainly from the cumin seeds and coriander. Have it on days when you are in a mood of having a light and healthy meal.
