Homemade Dahi / Curd / Yogurt

 

I have personally struggled a lot to get that perfect dahi (curd / yogurt) with cream/malai. So I thought of sharing this experience with others who are new or still struggling to make good dahi. Here is a step by step method of making curd with few tips.

Ingredients

Method :

• Always use full cream milk for thick curd. Get the milk to boil on medium flame stirring occasionally.
• Once the milk comes to a boil , simmer for 2-3 mins & keep beating the milk this helps to get creamy curd.
• Turn off the flame and allow to cool slightly (lukewarm). The temperature of the curd should be such that you can easily touch with your finger.
• Add 1 tbsp of curd into lukewarm milk.If u live in cold place add around 3 tbsp of starter/curd for 1 ltr milk
• Cover & rest in warm place for atleast 7-8 hours
• After 8 hours , the milk will be fermented into curd
• Refrigerate the curd or else it will start turning sour.
