Further simmering the milk for 10 minutes ensures that the curd thickens when it sets. You can use anywhere between one teaspoon to one tablespoon of culture.
Whisk well with a spoon or a whisker. In summers, curd sets faster. This is when you want to start adding the butter. Whisk until the butter is at least halfway melted before adding another piece. Continue until it is all whisked in and melted. I like to pour it into a glass jar, but any container with a lid will work. Here are some of my favorite uses!

I always rely on the grocery store to help me out! Thanks for showing how EASY it is to make! I think lime is my favorite, but blood orange has a surprisingly delicate taste. I just finished a post about lemon curd as I just made it for the first time last weekend! It was so much easier than I had feared! I am drooling over yours, Deborah!
See this is what I was waiting for! You have inspired me to make some lemon curd. It has been awhile since I have and I have on my list to make some; now I think I will be whipping some up this week.
Great post! Was ready in 12 hours. I totally forgot to pick up the curd and it was left to set for about 44 hours. Hi Sukhi Yes it is still safe if you live in a cold country. If you find an yellow layer or spots on top it is not good to consume. Thank you for the recipe.
I would greatly appreciate a detailed explanatory section on starters and how to make them. Thanks and regards. Hi Swasthi, thanks for the detailed step by step with pictures guide. I will try this weekend. Couple of questions as this will be my first attempt: 1. My friend gifted me some home made curd, can I use it as a starter 2. How long can I keep the curd eg 3 days, 1 week or 1 month? In the fridge 3. When will I know if curd has turned bad? Do I keep some curd from new batch to make next batch?
Hi Angie, 1. Yes you can use it as a starter. The fresh curd you make can be refrigerated even for 2 to 3 months. It can grow black mold on top if not handled well. It will be visible on top. You can also freeze a bit and use anytime when needed. Bring it to room temperature and use as a starter. Hope these help. HI Swasthi, as usual an excellent and detailed write up on yogurt making.
What caught my attention is that little unknown fact to transform milk into yogurt by using red chili stacks. I never heard this procedure. If you know any source to this, please direct me. I make thick yogurt quite often at home. Most of the time it comes out ok but occasionally it gets stringy. I have no explanation why this happens. Food dehydrators have various temperature settings. You just keep the vessel inside the dehydrator, turn it on and leave it there for hrs.
This is a sure shot way to set the yogurt, especially if you live in cold countries like USA, Canada or Europe. Another tip if you want to make a real thick yogurt — just add 4 to 5 table spoons of unsweetened evaporated milk I use Carnation brand evaporated milk to the milk while it is simmering in the pot.
Yogurt comes out very thick and with lots of cream on the top, if you like that. Thanks for the great work you are doing and keep it up. Hi Rom garu, Thanks for reading. Stringy yogurt is more common when made with milk from grass fed cows. This is what out elders in Andhra say. But I found that simmering milk for longer reduces the chances of slimy and stringy yogurt. Regarding the red chilli stalks, many years ago I heard few women speaking about it in India.
I experimented myself and was surprised to make yogurt without any starter. For thick yogurt I just simmer milk for longer which actually gives the same taste as the yogurt made from water buffalo milk. I like the way you add evaporated milk. Thanks again. Hi friends We are from Melbourne Australia, My concern is having trouble in setting curd in this winter. I encounter this problem atleast once in every winter. I have kept in warm room I have kept in oven but the milk is the same and there is no setting.
Usually here in winters we use more starter. That was my last starter. Does the greek yogurt can be used as a starter. Hi Nasreen Yes you can use greek yogurt. Ensure the milk is preboiled well and it is slightly higher in temperature than warm. If you dip your finger, you should feel it is slightly hot but not very hot. Add 2 tablespoons greek yogurt to 1 cup of milk and set it overnight in the oven with light ON or in a warm room. Also do not add very cold starter from the fridge.
Keep it out of the refrigerator for sometime in a warm place before using. Try setting smaller batches during winters. It creates a warm enough environment to encourage the cultures, without constantly using the electricity or gas.
I used this to make my curd yesterday and it was perfectly thick this morning! If you use this to raise dough, ensure you put a small jug of boiled water at the bottom of the oven to prevent the dough from forming a dry skin which will hinder rising. I followed the same recipe, used Pasteurised Homogenised Cow mIlk. Yogurt is not thick, much watery.
Please advise. Hi Subhabrata It depends on the milk and weather. If it is raining and cold in your place, then try adding more yogurt and set for longer time. Also try with a different brand of milk.
I have given lots of tips in the post. They will help you understand what might be causing. Very helpful ,pls tell that in rainy season how much time will it take to set properly. Can we give this curd to babies 8 months. Because we are using tetra pack milk to prepare curd and can you please let me know which brand is best in Singapore.
Hi Indira Yes you can give fresh curd made with fresh milk. Try to avoid tetra packs for baby unless essential. Since many years I was using Pura fresh milk. You can experiment with any of these. I order online from Redmart. Really great help. I am using Meiji from past 4 years. Thanks a lot. Details are impressive and creates expected awareness and helps to serve purpose.
Thank you very much. Contents hide. How to make curd dahi recipe. Making Indian curd or yogurt at home is no rocket science. These simple steps will teach you how to make curd or yogurt at home without a food thermometer. Yes it is good for the skin as well. I have mentioned possible tips in each and every step. Once you understand the process, you will never fail making homemade yogurt. This will help to prevent milk sticking to the pan , also it will be easier to clean the pan later on.
Pour the milk in the pan and turn the heat on medium-high. It took me minutes. Once it comes to a boil and rises, lower the heat to lowest and simmer for minutes and then turn off the stove.
This simmering process will prevent the yogurt from becoming stringy. Let it cool down slightly. Or you can set the yogurt in same patila or pan. Here I have used small ceramic bowl for photo purpose and one large Pyrex bowl. You can use any glass, plastic or steel container. Even you can use clay bowl or kullad. DO NOT even think of popping in the fridge for quicker cooling process. We need the starter yogurt at room temperature. My yogurt is always chilled in the fridge, so yours.
So I always remove the required amount in small bowl and keep it on countertop. So it will come to room temperature while the milk is cooling down. You can use thermometer degrees F or 43 degrees C , but who cares for the exact temperature. I do it this way - stick your clean finger in the milk, you will feel like warm water bath not hot. Add that yogurt in the milk.
Keep in the warm place without disturbing for hours. I usually keep the container in the oven with light on.
