HOW TO MAKE CURD AT HOME | HOME MADE DAHI YOGHURT

Curd is frequently required at my home. posting the recipe of making thick & creamy curd.

Yogurt or curd  is a dairy product produced by bacterial fermentation of milk. The bacteria used to make yogurt are known as "yogurt cultures". Fermentation of lactose by these bacteria produces lactic acid, which acts on milk protein to give yogurt its texture and its characteristic tang.




Ingredients :

Milk - 1/2 litre ( I use heritage  fat free milk but you can use full cream milk too)
Curd - 1 tbsp (use  home made but if you don't have home made curd you can use Amul/Nestle dahi)


Method
1.Boil milk without adding water.
2.Let it cool a bit. If you are using pre- heated milk from fridge  Heat milk until it becomes little hot. Such that you can dip your fingertip.



3 Add 1 tbsp curd  in barni ( yellow container  as seen in picture )and  add warm milk in this container & mix well.


4. Close the lid and keep aside for 10-12 hours(preferably overnight) in  a warm place like your kitchen cupboard / switched off oven.
5. Thick and yummy curd is ready!! Now you can store this in refrigerator.





Tip

1 Using  TUPPERWARE containers  for curd helps in getting a thick & creamier curd & the curd sets fast.
