Ingredients

Main

Cow Milk — 500 g

Starter

Curd — 10 g

Method

Pour 500 ml whole milk into a heavy-bottomed vessel. Bring to a gentle boil on medium flame, stirring occasionally so the milk solids don't catch at the base. Once the surface starts to froth and rise, switch off the flame.
Let the milk cool uncovered at room temperature for 25 to 40 minutes until it is just lukewarm — warm enough that you can comfortably keep a clean finger in it for 8 to 10 seconds. Hotter and the heat kills the lactic-acid culture; cooler and the set is delayed.
In a small bowl, take 1 teaspoon (about 10 g) of fresh non-sour curd. Add 2 tablespoons of the lukewarm milk and whisk gently until smooth — no lumps. This loosened starter mixes into the rest of the milk more evenly.
Pour the loosened starter back into the lukewarm milk and stir gently with a clean ladle for about 5 seconds. Do not whisk vigorously — gentle mixing keeps the culture intact and the set firm.
Transfer to a clean ceramic, clay, or glass bowl. Cover with a tight-fitting lid. Place undisturbed in a warm spot — inside a switched-off oven with the light on, on the kitchen counter draped with a cotton towel in summer, or inside a casserole or insulated box in winter.
Leave to set for 5 to 6 hours in summer or 8 to 12 hours in winter. The curd is ready when the surface looks dry-set and a gentle tilt of the bowl shows it holds its shape without pouring. Move to the refrigerator immediately — leaving it longer at room temperature turns the curd sour.
