Homemade Yogurt/Dahi


This is a very basic recipe. Although store bought yogurt tastes great, there is something tasty about the homemade one :-) This is also a very simple recipe and homemade yogurt contains 1/2 of the calories of the store bought one!!
Here's the recipe.

Ingredients:

3C milk (whole is always better but you can you use 2% or 1% too)
2 tsp yogurt (store bought / homemade after the first setting)

Method:

1) In a pot, heat water about 1 cm in level , till small bubbles appear. Heat water so that the milk doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.

2) Pour in milk slowly so that the water layer is not totally gone. Heat the milk until small bubbles appear.

3) Turn off the heat and let it cool, for about 20 mins until your finger goes in without getting hot.

4) In a bowl, add yogurt. Pour the cooled off milk, cover and let it set in a warm place for about 8-9 hours. Remember to keep it in a warm place or coverred in kitchen towels.

Serves:4-5
