    Method to make Low Fat Curd
  1. To make the low fat curds recipe | healthy low fat curds | low fat dahi | Indian low fat curds | rinse a deep non-stick pan with 2 tbsp of water and simmer it for 2-3 minutes. This is generally done in stainless steel pans but, if you have an old non-stick pan it is advisable to make this extra effort so, that the milk does not burn. If using a stainless steel patila, you can use the same vessel to set the curd.
  2. Rotate the pan in a clockwise motion, so the water spreads evenly in the pan. This will prevent milk from scorching as the water forms a protective layer between the pan and milk.
  3. Discard the water and pour 5 cups of low fat milk.
  4. Boil the milk on a medium flame for 6 to 8 minutes. Stir it occasionally to avoid the milk from sticking to the bottom of the pan or browning. Generally, for making dahi at home, you just need to warm the milk slightly. In hot climate, you will need to warm the milk very slightly but, if the weather is cold you need to warm it a little more.
  5. Switch off the flame and allow to cool slightly (lukewarm). Immerse your finger to check the temperature of the milk and then only add the starter. Do not think of putting the milk in refrigerator to cool it quickly. It is important to cool down the milk at room temperature only.
  6. Add the low fat curd in a bowl or pan. This is called as jaman or a starter which helps in setting the curd. In winters, you would require more starter to set the curd so, adjust the quantity according to the season.You can also use clay bowls, glass or ceramic bowls to set the curd. My mother makes use of air-tight, lunch-box bottle container to set dahi for our office use.
  7. Spread it evenly with the help of a spoon.
  8. Pour the luke warm milk over it. If the milk is hot and then added to curd, it will curdle and it may not yield creamy and tasty homemade dahi.
  9. Mix well using a spoon so that the curd spreads evenly. Sour starter will yield sour curd so, ensure your low fat curd is fresh.
  10. If you want to set the Low fat Curd in small containers, then transfer the mixture after the previous step of whisking. You can set the curd in a metal container, plastic or even tiny clat pots.
  11. Cover with a lid.
  12. Rest in a warm place for 5-6 hours. You can place the curd bowl in an oven or a casserole to set during cold climate. During summers, the curd will set very quickly (within 4-5 hours), so check it after 4 hours without fail.
  13. After 5-6 hours, the milk will be set into curd.
  14. After setting the curd, keep it inside the refrigerator or else it can get sour taste. If you place the curd inside the refrigerator, it will get thicker and the taste will remain fresh.
