Chhurpi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Churpee)
Chhurpi( Nepali: छुर्पी ) is a traditional cheese consumed in the Himalayan region. There are two varieties of chhurpi - soft variety (consumed as a side dish with rice)[1] and hard variety (chewed like a betel nut).
[edit] Preparation
Chhurpi is prepared in a local dairy or at home from buttermilk.[2] The buttermilk is boiled and the solid mass that is obtained is separated from the liquid and wrapped and hung in a thin cloth to drain out the water.
To prepare the hard variety, the soft mass is wrapped in a jute bag and pressed hard to get rid of the water. After it dries, it is cut into small cuboidal pieces and hung over fire to harden it further.
