Ṛgveda mentions a preparation in which the curds were mixed with Soma juice and barley meal.

Kilāṭa (किलाट) refers to “caseous milk”, as mentioned in verse 5.41 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “invigorative (are) caseous milk [viz., kilāṭa], early beestings, condensed milk, late beestings, etc.; (they are) productive of sperm, sleep, and phlegm, constipating, heavy, and morbific”.

Note: Kilāṭa (v.l. kīlāṭa)—“caseous milk”, popularly known as kṣīrāṃśu, is “the viscid part of condensed milk” (kūrchikībhūtakṣīrasya ghanabhāgaḥ, cf. Ḍalhaṇa’s commentary on Suśrutasaṃhitā I.45.90sq). It corresponds to chur-ba (spelt thsur-ba in Mahāvyutpatti 5691), which Jäschke (Dict. p. 159) describes as a kind of vermicelli prepared from boiled buttermilk, while Das (Dict. p. 423) rightly takes it for a sort of cheese (thus also the Dict, of the Fr. Cath. Miss. p. 327) or curds extracted from milk after boiling and evaporation.
