The first step to making homemade dahi/curd is to have a good starter. But how do you get your hands on a good starter! I have the solution! Try using this wonderful technique to make starter, it’s tried & tested…believe me it works! 🙂
Try using a green chilli for making dahi! I used fresh green chilli with stem in warm milk. It worked…but, be patient it does take almost 24 hours to deliver! However I think it’s a great choice for developing starter for first timers!
Method:
Boil milk. Cool to lukewarm. Add one whole green chilli. Cover & leave undisturbed in a warm corner of the house, till it sets into dahi.
Note:
