    Hello there Christy and thanks, I did get the same feeling wen I was given the recipe at first & I hung the yoghurt one day and made the balls straight away but the water from the curd does not dry out so quick and that makes it much easier to ware out.So it is best to do it as required. Hope tat helped,TC. Cheers.

    Great one rabz but I don't like it being hanged for 2 nights and then in the fridge for few more days.I like them being done in the same day.
