Ingredients for Homemade Yogurt (Stove-top Method)
- 1 ltr unpasteurized milk
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (as a starter)
Cooking Instructions for making Homemade Yogurt (Stove-top Method)
Heat the Milk: Pour milk into a shallow pan and heat it over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching and bring the milk to just below boiling point to kill unwanted bacteria and aid the end yogurt in setting properly
Cool the Milk: Remove from heat and let the milk cool down to warm but not hot to the touch
Add the Starter: ln a separate bowl, mix the yogurt with a little of the warm milk to create a smooth mixture. Stir this mixture back into the warm milk until well combined
Incubate: Cover the saucepan with a tight lid or reinforce with cling film and place it in a warm spot (e.g., inside an oven with the light on or in a dark cupboard, wrapped in a towel). Let it sit undisturbed for 6–12 hours, depending on how tangy you like your yogurt
Chill: After incubation, verify that the yogurt has set. It should have a thick, creamy consistency. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to fully firm up and chill before serving
P.S.:- If too runny, you can always strain it into labneh. See labneh recipe for reference
