Equipments
1 Boiler
1 Dahi Handi
1 Spoon
Ingredients
- ¼ teaspoon Curd
- 500 ml Milk (whole milk)
Instructions
- Pour 500 ml milk into the heavy-bottomed saucepan and place it on medium heat. Stir occasionally to avoid scorching the milk. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature, and heat the milk until it reaches about 82-85°C (180-185°F). This step helps to denature the proteins and improve the curd's texture.2. Once the milk reaches the desired temperature, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool down. Transfer the cooled milk in dahi handi . Allow the milk to reach approximately 43-46°C(110-115°F), which is the ideal temperature for the culture (bacteria) to thrive and ferment.3. In a separate bowl, take ¼ tablespoons of plain yogurt (your starter) and mix it with a small amount of the cooled milk until it forms a smooth paste. This step helps evenly distribute the active cultures throughout the milk, ensuring a consistent set.4. Cover the dahi handi with its lid to maintain warmth and protect the curd from drafts.5. Now place this dahi handi in a big boiler and cover it with lid. Place it in direct sunlight for 20 minutes.6. After the incubation period, gently tilt the dahi handi to check if the curd has set. You should see a clear separation between the curd and the whey (the liquid that forms). If it's not set, let it ferment for a little longer.7. Once the curd has set to your satisfaction, transfer it to the refrigerator to cool. Chilling it further enhances its texture and flavor. Your Homemade Yogurt is Ready

Notes
- For creamy and delicious curd, it's crucial to start with good-quality milk. Full-fat milk is preferred for its higher fat content, which results in a richer texture. Avoid using UHT (ultra-high temperature) processed milk, as it may not set well.
- To ensure a successful curd-making process, it's essential to sterilize all the utensils and containers you'll be using. Wash them thoroughly with hot water and let them dry completely before use.
