Yogurt is considered very auspicious in India and still in some Indian households. Sugar and yogurt would be mixed together to make a quick sweet that is served in a teaspoon before an important event.
Ingredients:-
- 500ml full fat Milk ( here we get 3.6% fat )
- ¼ cup Full-fat yogurt (thoroughly beaten) at room temperature.
Method:-
Heat and bring milk to boil , it will take about 5-6 minutes.
Then reduce heat and simmer for another 5-6 minutes. Keep stirring.
Turn off the heat and let the milk semi-cool. You should be able to touch the milk.
Add beaten yogurt into the milk, stir the mixture just ONCE with the spoon.
Cover with lid.
Okay now I am spilling all the secrets on how to make homemade yogurt in cold weather like the UK.
I just make yogurt before I start to cook my evening meal.
So I keep my milk pan after adding the yogurt near the gas stove, so while I am cooking all the extra heat reaches the milk pan. Because milk and yogurt mixture needs a warm temperature to set the yogurt.
After I finish my cooking I preheat my oven for 5 minutes. Then turn it off
Place milk + yogurt pan into the oven.
In the morning, thick, creamy and mild set yogurt ready for you.
Once you have made the yogurt, save a small amount aside. You can then use this same yogurt to make new yogurt next time! Simple!

What brand of beaten yogurt would you prefer? I live in UK and tried a few local brands, all of which resulted in sticky yogurt which I do not like!
