What does curdling mean?
To cause milk or a milk-based liquid to separate into curds and whey, or to become lumpy or thick and separate, often as a result of cooling or the addition of acid. To cause something to become suddenly and unpleasantly changed or spoiled.
Example
"The milk curdled in the fridge overnight, making it unusable for the recipe."
