5 rules to prevent sour cream from curdling when stewing

Firstly, it is extremely important that the sour cream is fresh and fatty (at least 25%).

Secondly, you need to take the sour cream out of the refrigerator in advance; it should warm up to room temperature.

Thirdly, you need to add half a glass of milk or cream (they should also be at room temperature) and stir with a whisk.

You don't need to add a lot of water at once; it's better to add it during the process as needed.

Fourthly, you need to thicken the sour cream a little with flour or starch (tablespoon).

Also, you shouldn’t mix sour cream with sour sauces, for example, tomato paste.
