- ½ lit. Milk
- 1 tbsp. Curd, lightly beaten

- Now add 1tbsp. beaten curd to milk and gently stir with a spoon, to mix beaten curd and milk properly.
- Loosely cover with a lid and leave it to set in a warm corner of the kitchen for nearly 6-7 hours.
- When the curd is set after 6-7 hours, then close the lid tightly and leave it in fridge to chill for 1-2 hours or serve it or use it in any dish which asks for curd.

NOTES:
- Using of metal bowl or container for setting curd, is not advisable only because the bacteria present in the curd may react with the metal and taste of curd can vary in comparison to glass bowl.
- Always use clean and dry glass or porcelain or ceramic bowl to set curd.
- In some parts of India, curd is set in earthen pots and is said, the curd which is set in earthen pots taste divine.
- The Bacteria Lactobacillus, which helps in forming curd, needs warm climate to set. So during summers, curd sets faster due to higher microbial division.
- The set curd may turn sour soon if it is left outside. Refrigerating the curd after setting may reduce the sourness in curd.
DURING WINTERS/RAINY DAYS:
- Curd takes long time to set during winters or rainy days. Using thermos or insulated casserole can help in setting perfect curd during winters or in cold places.
- Or else you can wrap woollen towel around the container and store it in a warm place.
- Alternatively you can preheat oven at 1800 C for 3-4 minutes and leave the curd bowl to set in it by keeping the oven lights on for warmth for 8-9 hours.
