What spices are used in spicy curd cheese?

Can you freeze spicy curd cheese?

How can you make spicy curd cheese less hot?
Mix spicy curd cheese with plain curd cheese to reduce its heat. A little plain yogurt can also mellow the flavor; taste the mixture before adding salt or using it in a recipe.
