Make yogurt for your family at home with good quality ingredients
What we need:
- A pot – to boil the milk
- Milk – 1 liter
- Curd (made by natural culture method) – half teaspoon
Procedure:
- Boil the milk on the stove, till it comes to a boil.
- Allow the milk to cool.
- Add the half teaspoon of curd to the boiled milk.
- Leave outside overnight to set.
- Once the curd has set place it in the refrigerator until further use.
Points to remember:
- The lesser curd you add to the milk the thicker the curd becomes in texture.
- Full fat milk makes the yogurt more thick and creamy.
- If the room temperature is low or you are living in a cold region then the yogurt might take longer to set.
- For those who live in regions with no heat at all, use the oven with the lights on to set the temperature to a comfortable 110 degrees.
- You can even make yogurt using milk powder. Milk powder makes yogurt thick and creamy.
Don’t forget to leave behind a spoonful of yogurt for your next batch of homemade yogurt.
