I LOVE LOVE it, I wish i could have some now, before i go to bed. Is it true that you can make if from sour milk (please do not laugh).
Re: Wara (soft Cheese) by AmakaOne(f): 1:47pm On Nov 25, 2009
All you do is boil some milk, reduce the heat and add something acidic to separate the curds and whey – white vinegar, lemon or lime juice will do, and then press out the excess moisture, a couple of tablespoons for a litre of milk.

Once you add the lime juice/lemon juice/vinegar you will notice that the curds and whey start to separate immediately.

If they don’t seem to be separating add more of your lime juice/lemon juice/vinegar.

Give it about 5 minutes, stirring so it doesn’t stick or burn and the curds will get bigger and the whey will get clearer.

After the 5 minutes or so are up, strain through some muslin or cheesecloth to separate the curds.

You can suspend your ball of cheese in waiting from the tap or just put it in a sieve suspended over an empty pot.

Leave it for about half an hour or so to cool down and drip then squeeze the excess liquid out.

Place a weight on it (a can of beans and a saucer) at this point for an hour or so and then it’s ready to refrigerate.
Easy peasy!



Variations:

Add salt to the wara, if you like with your choice of spices one or more, including black pepper, roasted cumin seed, chopped green chilies, chopped cilantro or to your taste.

fried mozzarella is great.

i sometimes had fried wara as a kid and i think that's what the mozarella reminds me of.

After extracting the cheese, what of the whey?
It has to have some use since its a by-product.
