Master Winter Curd: Get Thick, Sweet Yogurt Like a Pro with These Home Tips!

• Use full-cream milk, boil, and cool to lukewarm; avoid thin milk or extreme temperatures for proper setting.
• Ensure milk is at the right lukewarm temperature; too hot or cold prevents proper yogurt formation.
• Use fresh, slightly sour starter culture (1-2 spoons per liter); whisk gently for even distribution.
• Place the container in a warm, undisturbed spot (e.g., wrapped in a towel, in a closed oven) for at least 8 hours.
• For severe cold, add 1-2 whole green chilies with stems to the milk after adding starter; remove once set.

Why It Matters: Achieve perfect, thick winter curd by controlling milk temperature, starter, and providing warmth.
