Curd is a
dairy product obtained by coagulating (
curdling)
milk with
rennet or an edible
acidic substance such as
lemon juice and draining off the
whey.
Curd is also known in certain regions as cottage cheese, quark or paneer (the latter by definition being curdled with lemon juice, thus qualifying as a vegetarian food).
