KITCHEN PRACTICE 2 — Flour-Stabilized vs. Plain Sour Cream
==================================================
Chapter: Hungarian Cookery 5 — From Pörkölt to Paprikás: Stabilizing Sour Cream

TASK
----
Add sour cream to two small, equally hot portions of pörkölt two
ways — one with the flour-stabilization step, one with plain sour
cream stirred straight in — and compare curdling.

WHAT TO DO
----------
1. Split a batch of finished pörkölt into two small pots, both kept
   at a similar, real simmer.
2. For Pot A, whisk sour cream with a small spoonful of flour first,
   temper it with a spoonful of hot liquid, and stir it in gently.
3. For Pot B, stir plain sour cream (no flour, no tempering) directly
   into the actively simmering pot.
4. Compare the two immediately.

WHAT TO EXPECT
--------------
- Pot B should show real, visible curdling — small grainy lumps of
  separated sour cream, rather than a smooth sauce.
- Pot A should stay smooth and creamy throughout, with no visible
  separation.
- The difference should look genuinely similar to Indian Cookery's
  own curdled-vs-tempered yogurt comparison, confirming the same
  underlying risk applies here even with dairy that isn't yogurt.

WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER
----------------------------
This exercise isolates the flour-and-tempering combination as the
real variable, making directly visible exactly what the chapter's
own two-safeguard technique is protecting against.
