Homemade Yogurt Recipe (Dahi)
Ingredients
2.5 quarts of whole or 2% milk
¼ cup plain yogurt
Directions
Pour milk into a heavy bottomed pot and bring to boil over medium heat (stir constantly!)
Once milk boils, immediately remove from heat and pour into a container that has a lid
Allow milk to cool until just warm to the touch
Mix in plain yogurt
Place lid and set container in a warm place for 5-7 hours (I place mine in the oven with the oven light on)
After 5 hours, check to see if yogurt has set, if not leave for another hour and check again. Repeat if necessary
Once set, store in refrigerator for up to a week
Set aside ¼ cup yogurt for the next batch
**You will have to purchase pre-made yogurt for the very first batch. Try to avoid Greek yogurt. Look for plain yogurt where the only ingredients are “milk” and “live cultures”
**Yogurt can be strained through a cheesecloth to produce a thicker yogurt, similar to Greek yogurt
