Curd is an important part of an Indian kitchen. It is not only delicious but is also considered very beneficial for health. But often people complain that curd takes a lot of time to set or after setting it becomes sour, remains thin, or does not get the thickness of cream. Especially in summer, it sets quickly, but its taste and texture are not like the creamy curd available in the market. If you also want thick, creamy, and tasty curd to set at home within 1 hour, then some easy and effective home remedies will have to be adopted for it. The most important thing for this is the choice of the right milk, the right temperature, and the right amount of starter.

First of all, let's talk about milk. If you want to set creamy curd, then use full cream milk. Packet-toned milk from the market will also work, but for thick curd, the best is raw cow or buffalo milk, which should be boiled well first. After boiling the milk, cool it a little so that it is neither too hot nor too cold. A good way is to check the temperature of the milk by inserting your finger. If the finger stays comfortably for 8-10 seconds, then it is the perfect temperature to add the starter. Now comes the matter of setting a vessel. Always set curd in a clay, porcelain, or steel vessel, but heat the vessel slightly beforehand so that the temperature does not change.

Now let's talk about the starter, that is, the part of the old curd which is used to set the new curd. 1 teaspoon of starter is enough for 500 ml of milk. But if you want to set the curd in 1 hour, then dissolve the starter in lukewarm milk beforehand and then mix it well in the entire milk. Now keep this vessel in a warm place, such as in a microwave (without stirring), cooker, thermos, or oven. If you want, you can also wrap it with a warm towel or blanket so that the temperature remains. In summer, this curd can be set within an hour, and if you have kept the milk at the right temperature, then the curd will be very thick and creamy.

Another special tip is that adding a spoonful of milk powder to milk makes the curd even thicker and richer. The cream also forms on top which tastes delicious. After the curd is set, keep it in the fridge immediately so that it does not turn sour and the taste remains intact. So the next time you need creamy curd in a hurry, follow these easy methods and make delicious curd like the market in 1 hour at home. Without any hassle and without compromising on taste.
