This is what Hungarian túró looks like
You often ask me what kind of cottage cheese (or curd cheese or farmer's cheese - call it what you want) I use in the recipes.

Metric system vs cup

The values in brackets, therefore, are only approximate volumes, so, please, double-check them before you start cooking.
