Homemade yoghurt is healthy and easy to make! Making yoghurt at home is very easy, and it does not require any special equipment. All that is needed for homemade yoghurt is milk, a little starter yoghurt. I hope the step-by-step pictures are helpful. This is my preferred method for perfect yoghurt every time.

Ingredients
- 500 ml Milk
- 2 tablespoon Yoghurt Culture
Instructions
- Boil the milk in a pan over low-medium flame. Allow the milk to cool down till it feels lukewarm.We can test it by dipping our little finger. The temperature of the milk should feel warm, not hot. We can also use a thermometer, and the temperature of the milk should be between 35-40 degree Celsius.
- Take any ceramic, metal, glass pot or glass jar. Pour the lukewarm milk into the container you want to set the curd.
- Now take a small amount of curd (starter/culture) from the previous batch or store-bought yoghurt and stir the starter nicely into the milk with a clean spoon.
- Cover it with a lid and place this container in a warm place to make the curd.
- Allow it to set for 4-6 hours, depending on the climate and temperature.
- Once the curd is ready, refrigerate it and use it as required.
- Before serving, you can add any toppings, such as fruits etc.
Notes
- To get thick, creamy yoghurt, always use full-fat milk.
- Keep stirring while boiling the milk, or else the milk will get burnt and smell bad.
- During The cold climate, place inside a cupboard or closed oven to set.
The milk must be lukewarm. You could use any quantity of milk you want to make the curd. - We can make flavoured yoghurt by adding sweetener, vanilla or fruit extract to the lukewarm milk.
