Watch this video recipe for Homemade Yogurt aka Dahi or Curds. It’s so simple to make and you won’t believe how easy (and cost effective) making yogurt at home can be. Forget those store bought yogurts which lack flavor and are usually made thick with gelatin or pectin. You will be certain that yogurt made by you is all natural!

The curd gets slimy(I mean sticky) due to a type of bacteria called ALCELIGANCE VISCOLECTIS.Also sometimes due to warm climate ( as it happens in India) the curd becoms saour. In either case the best solution is to change the starter . dont use your leftover starter.
Hi Hetal
Why yogurt gets slymi after few days?
Hi Jyoti,
No, this yogurt does not get slimy, even after a few weeks. The trick to prevent slimy yogurt is to let the milk come to a boil at a lower flame. The longer the milk is kept at a certain high temperature, the proteins break down and prevent the slime.
Hi Hetal,
Can we use organic milk to make organic yogurt?
I tried a few times but doesn’t work.
Thanks
Hi Aish,
I have not tried it, but would imagine that if you use organic milk with an organic yogurt starter, you would get organic yogurt. What goes wrong when you try it ?
Hi
Thankyou for this great way of making curd/yoghurt at home. However I had one question, I dont have a container for keeping the curd in the back oven. Plastic, glass and steel vessels cannot be used apparantly. How else do I keep the curd?
Hi Swathi,
You have to turn the oven off before putting in the curd. The oven is just slightly warm. Wondering why you think glass and steel cannot be used…
