curdy
Thick and clumped
Curdy describes something resembling or containing curds—the lumpy, solid parts that form when milk coagulates.
The word applies to textures that are thick, clotted, or lumpy: The sauce had gone curdy from overheating.
It appears most often in cooking contexts or descriptions of dairy products separating.
