Raw buffalo or cow milk is warmed without boiling, and boiled whey that has soured for 3–4 days is poured in, so the milk splits into curd and whey within minutes. The curd is pressed by hand into flat discs, drained in bamboo baskets and sun-dried for 3–4 days. Acid from the soured whey sets it, with no rennet in the traditional method, so kalari sits on the boundary between a fermented and an acid-set cheese. Made in 7 steps over 13 days – 38 days. The longest step, store, then fry in its own fat, takes 7–30 days (Geographical Indications Registry 2023). Lactic bacteria of the soured whey; lactococci and mesophilic and thermophilic lactobacilli are the main groups in the cheese and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei subsp. tolerans do most of the fermenting.

Recipe
Amounts from a sourceAmounts from the GI specification for Udhampur Kaladi (GI Journal 175, 2023), which gives 100 L of milk and 12–15 L of whey and says 1 L of milk makes 3–4 kalari. Makers scale the milk as needed.
100 L
Raw buffalo or cow milk · About 80 % of kalari is made from buffalo milk and 20 % from cow milk[gi-807]
12–15 L
Whey water · Kept 3–4 days so it is sour; boiled before it goes into the milk[gi-807]
Salt · The discs are dabbed in salt before frying[gi-807]
Starter
soured whey ('mathar') from earlier batches, a backslop of acid; lactic acid in lab-made versions; no rennet in the traditional method

What makes this one different
Kalari is curdled with soured whey from earlier batches, not with rennet, and then dried in the sun as small discs. It is eaten fried, not fresh. Paneer is also acid-set, but it is pressed into a block and eaten moist, while kalari's sun-drying and its sour whey give it a firmer skin and a sour note.
Milk
Raw buffalo or cow milk; goat milk in some homes
Coagulant
Soured whey kept 3–4 days; no rennet in the traditional method
Fresh, semi-dry and dry kalariThe GI method annex names three kinds by making and drying time, from fresh to fully dry

Lab-made kaladhiPasteurised buffalo milk set with lactic acid at 40 °C
Safety
Market kalari carried 3.92–4.38 log cfu/g of coliforms, and the authors found wide variation because there is no standard method. Lactic bacteria grow at room temperature and decline when the cheese is chilled or frozen, so keep it cold and fry it well before eating.
Hazards the sources name: Coliforms, 3.92–4.38 log cfu/g in market samples; Enterobacteriaceae.
The GI specification says kalari began in Ramnagar, Udhampur district, under the Dogra dynasty and was taken up by Gujjar and Bakarwal herders. Women make most of it, and the skill passes from mother to daughter. "Udhampur Kaladi" was registered as a Geographical Indication in 2023 (application 807, certificate 510).
