How to Make Chakka from Yogurt

Chakka (Pressed Yogurt or Yogurt cheese)

Marathi Recipe

Ingredients:
3 cups homemade creamy yogurt or Organic Plain Yogurt (I used Stoneyfield Lowfat yogurt)
3 ft x 3 ft Muslin Cloth or Cheese cloth

Method:
Pour the yogurt in the middle of muslin cloth. Gather the edges of the muslin cloth and tie a knot, hanging the tied edges from the kitchen sink, and let the liquid from the yogurt drain in the sink. Hang for 8 hours to drain the water. squeeze with spoon occasionally to drain out the water. After draining all the water, you will get around 1 and 1/4 cup Chakka (125 gram) (pressed yogurt).

Note:
I did not get Stoneyfield's 'whole milk yogurt'. If you get it in the market, that would also be great to make Chakka.
