WHEY & WHEY SOUP

When we curdle milk using lemon juice, we get whey, which has many nutritional benefits. I was on the process of making rasagullas. Also, I made a quick soup with this whey water. We can use whey water in making dough for chapathis. Leftover whey can be stored in bottles and kept under refrigeration. This can be used in curdling the milk for the next time. Detailed nutritional benefits of whey can be found here.
