Home katyk

Healthy, delicious, refreshing - we cook an old Turkic dish at home! First, I'll probably tell you what katyk is - it's a fermented milk product that is prepared from sheep, goat or buffalo milk. Moreover, the milk must be boiled. It is very easy to cook it at home, if there is a ready-made sourdough - katyk. But if there is no such thing, then you will have to try a little. That is, a real katyk (more or less) you will receive only after 5-7 fermentation of milk. How it is done. Milk is fermented with curdled milk. Then the resulting product is used for the next fermentation and so on. Until you get to the 7th. :) That's where the seventh starter will be something similar to katyk.

Cooking method

Cooking time: 15 h

Boil natural, fresh milk (sheep, goat, buffalo - in extreme cases - cow's milk) in a stainless or enameled saucepan, cool it to 40 degrees. Then add the curdled milk (if there is, then katyk) and stir. We wrap the pan with a terry towel so that the whole pan is closed, it is better to bend the edges inside. We leave it for 12 hours. This needs to be done so that the bacteria run all over the milk and start their own business.

After 12 hours, we take out the pan and mix the katyk. Pour it into a clean glass dish and put it in the refrigerator. There the katyk should thicken. Now you can safely eat it, and leave 3 spoons for the next batch of katyk.
