Directions:

 

  • MAKING OF FULL FAT CURD/ FULL FAT YOGURT: 

  • Heat full fat milk  over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until it is steaming, barely bubbling . (Do not leave unattended--it can boil over very quickly.)

  • Let stand, stirring frequently, until luke warm . To this   add  1/4 cup curd , and stir well, so that the added curd gets mixed well into the warm milk.

  • Place  in a very warm place (see Tip) and let stand, undisturbed, for at least 8 hours and up to 12 hours( this timing purely depends on your climate.  In summers, it takes just 6-8 hours for milk to become curd, unlike, in winters this process of fermentation takes about 12 hrs.) 

  • MAKING OF HUNG CURD OR GREEK YOGURT: 

  •  1 kg curd/ yogurt yields 650gms of Greek yogurt/ hung curd )

  • Refrigerate  curd / yogurt until cold, about 2-3 hours. The yogurt or curd  will thicken a bit more in the refrigerator. I, usually prefer overnight refrigeration. This step is crucial before you transfer this curd into a cheesecloth.

  • Line a large fine-mesh sieve with 2 layers of cheesecloth and place over a large bowl. Spoon the cooled yogurt into the cheesecloth, cover and refrigerate for 4-8 hours, depending on how thick you want it. 

  • Transfer and keep this full fat Greek yogurt or full fat hung curd in an airtight container. Stays fresh for  a week.
