12 cups of Whole Milk
1/4 tsp. of Cumin Seeds (Zeera) (crushed)
2 tsp. of Salt
1/3 cup of Lemon Juice
In a 5-quart Dutch oven bring milk, salt, and cumin just to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice. Let stand 15 minutes.
Line a large strainer or colander with several layers of 100-percent cotton cheesecloth. Strain mixture; discard liquid. Gently squeeze the cheesecloth to remove as much liquid from the curds as possible. Wrap cloth around curds. Place wrapped curds in a large strainer or colander and put a weighted bowl on top to help press out any additional liquid. Let stand, covered, in a refrigerator for at least 15 hours.
Remove curds. Discard liquid. Form curds into a flat rectangle or press into a large bowl to shape. Refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap, until well chilled. Store in refrigerator, tightly wrapped, for up to 3 weeks.

I agree with Ms. Deanna, because the foodnetwork web site (www.foodnetwork.com) has helped the kitchen queen find many exotic and tasty recipes.
I will not ask why you would attempt to make your own cottage cheese, because it's possible that you have special dietary needs and that's cool. Personally, the only thing I'd make in this situation is a trip to the grocery store for some Breakstone's or Lucerne low-fat, small curd cottage cheese.
Lastly, if you need a quick snack that doesn't involve cooking, try serving cucumber slices topped with cottage cheese and sprinkled with a dash of paprika. Or pick up a bag of Indian bread (nan) chips, and serve them with a curry-infused yogurt dip garnished with fresh chives.
Happy cooking,
kitchen queen

I personally have always loved www.cookinglight.com, www.tasteofhome.com, and www.foodnetwork.com. I also suggest getting one of those cheap $10 CD-ROMS. I got mine from Staples, it's called Master Cook. I can type in what ingredients I have and don't have and it will tell me what recipes I can make with them. It also includes alot of specific cookbooks for specific occasions, and SO many basics for people just starting out, or wanting to go back to basics, which I do alot of myself. I hope this helps.
