Seven steps to make the perfect curd
Curd
1. Curd is made by adding a sample of curd (also known as curd culture, curd bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, etc.) to warm milk, and allowing the mixture to ferment in a closed container in a warm place till it sets firmly. In summer, it sets in around 5 hours; but in winter it takes longer, any time between 8 to 15 hours!
2. Curd sets faster when kept overnight in a warm place in a steel container.
3. At times, a pinch of sugar can be added to the milk before fermenting it, to make sure the resulting curd is not too sour.
4. Always cover the cultured milk with a lid, for it to set properly.
5. When adding the curd culture to the milk, make sure the milk is warm. If it is too cold, it will not set. If it is too hot, it will either curdle immediately or give you watery curds.
6. Use a whisk to combine the small curd sample with the milk, so that the sample disperses well and gives you a good thick curd.
7. The readymade ‘set curds’ available in India are often not useful as cultures to make homemade curd. So if you need a sample to make curds, try to buy natural curd from a local dairy or get a homemade sample from a friend.

Health Benefits of Curd, Yoghurt, Dahi
1. Improves Digestion : Curd has very good bacteria for aiding digestion in the gut. However only 30% of the curd sold in the supermarkets have Probiotics added to them ( an ingredients that contains good live bacteria) which soothe the stomach. So look for Probiotic Curds in the supermarket as a much better choice than regular curds. Note that homemade curds will not have Probiotics added to them. 2. High in Protein : One cup of curds has 8.7 grams of protein. 3. Low Carbs : Following a low carb diet, have lots of curd. Once cup of curds has only 9 grams of carbs. Try our healthy Raitas. 4. Lactose Intolerant : There are some who are lactose intolerant to milk but okay with curd. It converts lactose present in milk to lactic acid making it easier to digest. 5. High in Calcium : Calcium is a mineral that makes bones stay strong. The human body consistently remove small amounts of calcium from our bones and that has to be topped up with Calcium rich foods. As we age, we need to eat foods high in calcium to make up for this lower absorption and to help maintain the bone strength gained in the former years. One bowl of curd has 426 mg of Calcium which is nearly 45% of RDA for an adult male. 6. Good for those with High Blood Pressure : Curds are rich in Potassium which will help balance the sodium levels in your body.
