lemony yogurt tart (no bake)

Very light and tasty as cream cheese cake!
Made with hung curd and condense milk! 

Ingredients:
Yogurt-400gms or 2 cups,
Milk maid or condense milk-1/2 cup,
fresh lemon juice-1 and 1/2 tbsp,
Digestive bicuits-1 small packet or 150 gms.,
Butter-4 tbsp-soft,
Salt-a pinch,
Some butter to grease the tart pan.


Method:
You can make this dessert in a flat square or a rectangle dish.It has to be kept in the fridge to set. Just keep in mind the size according to the measured ingredients.
My tart pan is 8 inches.
Grease the bottom and sides of the pan with butter and keep aside.
Take a muslin cloth and put 2 cups of yogurt in it.

Make a knot and place it hanging in a long glass or jar using a knife to hold it. 
The whey will drip down and collect at the bottom.(do not throw this whey as it can be used as a drink or mix it in wheat flour for making dough)


Place this jar in the fridge and leave it for 4 to 5 hours.
Empty the whey from the jar the first  1/2 hour  and then after each hour so that the bottom of the cloth does not touch the collected whey. 
Crush the biscuits with hand and mix 4 tbsp of soft butter.


The biscuits crumbs should bind together when you press them in your fists.
If it breaks and crumbles down then more butter is required.
Place the greased tart pan on a plate.

Spread the buttered crumbs on the greased pan,and press it tightly all around.
Cover with a plate or foil and put in the fridge to set along with hung yogurt.
After 5 hours,take out the hung yogurt in a bowl.
Beat with a whisk for 30 seconds to smooth it.


Add the zest of one small lemon,1 and 1/2 tbsp of juice and a pinch of salt.(you can adjust the quantity of  lemon juice and condense milk according to your taste)
Mix with whisk for few seconds and then add 1/2 cup of milk maid or condense milk.
Whisk again for few seconds.
Take out the tart pan from the fridge and spoon the mixture on it.
Spread and level the mixture using a knife.

Cover again and put in the fridge overnight to set.
Take out the tart pan from the fridge and using a small knife run around the edges to loosen it.


(this step can be avoided if you are not using a tart pan with a loose base)
Place the lemony yogurt tart on a serving plate and enjoy with fresh fruits.
It is delicious and tastes very much like cheese cake.
( while slicing the yogurt tart,always wipe the blade after each cut to get a clean slice)
