Notes
I have used buttermilk i made this by adding 1 tsp vinegar to 1/4 cup full fat cream milk and let it stand for 5 min.
For Sourcream just add 1 .5 tsp lime juice in 3/4 cup heavy cream.
If you dont want to use cream you could thick yogurt.

Hi Gloria,
To make the Sour Cream, what brand of heavy cream have you used? ... Please mention the fat content so that I can look for it accordingly. You have also mentioned that instead of cream, yogurt can be used. In case we use yogurt, do we still need to add the lime juice?
Thanks Gloria for you patience and willingness to share .... God Bless You Abundantly ....
Hi dear,
I always use Amul Fresh Cream for sourcream ,ganache or any other thing since it's easily available . the ones we get in blue tetra pack 25% fat content ..
You can use any yogurt Nestle ,Amul masti dahi or even the one we set in our homes ..do not add lime if using yogurt
..thanks for your blessings and kind words.. means a lot😍
God bless you too...
