Cooking Tips

• Use full-fat milk for the best results as it yields a creamier and thicker curd.
• Make sure the milk is not too hot or too cold, as extreme temperatures can affect the curd-setting process.
• You can add a pinch of sugar or a drop of vanilla extract to the milk for a slightly sweeter flavor.

Storage and Serving

• Store the homemade curd in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
• Serve the curd chilled as a side dish, in raita, or as a base for smoothies and desserts.
• You can strain the curd using a muslin cloth to make hung curd for a thicker consistency.
