Before starting cooking, you need to choose the right food. The curd should be fresh, white or slightly creamy. If the color is yellow, then the product is not of the first freshness. It should smell like a milky aroma with a slight sourness, and the taste is slightly sour. These are the hallmarks of a fresh product. If the taste is sweet, it means that unscrupulous manufacturers have added sugar to hide the staleness. And tasteless is of poor quality. The consistency of the curd should be homogeneous with a slightly oily consistency. Too liquid cottage cheese - expired, grainy - overdried.
It is also important to choose the right eggs. They should be fresh and preferably homemade. You can check the freshness in the following way. Dip an egg in salt water: fresh will sink to the bottom, stale ones will float. Also inspect the shell. If there are chips and cracks, then through them the eggs dry out and lose their freshness.
