Home made yogurt




Ingredients
2 qt milk, 1%, 2% or whole milk works great, depends on your cholesterol :o)
1 Tsp plain yogurt, (use fresh & tasty one)
1 Green or red chili

Method
Using a pot with a clean & heavy bottom, boil the milk over medium heat. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t boil over.
Allow the milk to cool until lukewarm (the lukewarm temperature is very important)
Now add 1 tsp of yogurt and mix well
Add the chili and cover with a lid



Leave it for few hours in a warm space
In another 3 to 4 hours your yogurt should be ready

Tips
1. If you want it to be farm and thick,you have to boil that minimum 30 min
2. If you want to cool the milk a little quicker, place the pot in cool water. Pour the milk from one cup to another till frothy (for the coarse texture)


3. The surrounding temperature must be warm for the yogurt to form. In winter what you do.
4. Put the Bowl near the hot stove(while you cooking)
5. Put the bowl in to the oven and turn on the oven light.
