Homemade Indian Yogurt Dahi

In the container that you want to set curds add the starter add 1/4 tsp yoghurt it well to coat the container.

Pour the 250 ml full-fat milk and set aside in a warm place.

The curds will set in 8 hours. Store the container in the fridge till needed.

Run the empty microwave for 2 minutes or till it gets warm.

Place the container of milk and starter in the oven and close. Do not open and check for another 5 hours.

If you do not have access to a microwave or oven, place it in a warm pressure cooker, casserole. Again resist the urge to check on the curds.

Smear the container with curds then pour chilled milk. Set it in a warm place for about 10 to 12 hours or overnight.

In a thick bottomed vessel add a little water and swirl it around to coat the base of the pan.

Throw out the excess water.  Add the milk and on low flame heat it. What happens is the water does not allow the milk to Scorch.

Boil the milk for 10 to 15 minutes. Stirring occasionally so that the milk does not boil over. Also, the milk will not burn. The burnt milk you cannot use for anything. Just an added insurance here.

Allow the milk to cool and then set the curds as I have mentioned above.
