Hung curd is nothing but curd stripped of its water content. Place curd in a muslin cloth and tie it securely. Hang the cloth with curd for 2-3 hours or till all the water leaves the cloth. Squeeze out the remaining water and untie the cloth. The resultant will be a smooth, creamy paste which can easily pass off as regular cream or mayonnaise.
