The Curd Chronicles: From Farm to Table
01. How to Make Curd at Home
Curious about curd-making at home? We’re here to guide you through a simple and rewarding process. Making curd at home ensures freshness and quality, giving you control over the ingredients. Follow these easy steps:
Ingredients:
• Milk: Choose high-quality milk, either cow or buffalo, based on your preference.
• Starter Culture or Curd (from a previous batch): A small amount to kickstart the fermentation process.
Equipment:
• Saucepan: To heat the milk.
• Container with Lid: To set the curd.
Process:
1.Heat the Milk: Pour the desired amount of milk into a saucepan. Place the saucepan on medium heat and warm the milk until it’s comfortably warm to the touch. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scalding.
2.Cool the Milk: Allow the milk to cool to around room temperature. This is the optimal temperature for the starter culture to work effectively.
3.Add the Starter Culture or Curd: Add a small amount of starter culture or a couple of tablespoons of curd from a previous batch to the cooled milk. Mix well to distribute the culture evenly.
4.Set the Curd: Pour the milk into a clean container with a lid. Cover the container and place it in a warm, undisturbed location. Let it sit for at least 6-8 hours or until the curd sets. The longer it sits, the thicker the curd will become.
5.Check for Firmness: After the waiting period, check the curd for firmness. If it has been set to your liking, refrigerate the container to stop the fermentation process.
6.Enjoy Fresh Homemade Curd: Once chilled, your homemade curd is ready to be enjoyed. Scoop it into a bowl, add your favourite toppings, or use it in various recipes.
