In India, sour cream is not easily available, and when its needed the only other option is to make it at home. The only thing is you will have to make it a day before you need it. The process is very simple to follow, mostly buttermilk is added to make the sour cream but you can also use milk with lemon or white vinegar and proceed. Here I have used milk with lemon and the recipe is as followed. You can see it for yourself, how it has come out 🙂 . It easily stays for 3-4 days in a clean jar under refrigeration.
