Kalari is a traditional ripened cheese from India, and it is also called Kaladi. Makers form the curd into small round discs that dry until they are dense and easy to slice. The plain taste is mild and milky, with a stretchy bite once a disc is heated. It is best known as a fried snack, crisp at the edge and soft in the middle. The name covers that hot snack as much as the cheese before it meets the pan.
