Recipe For Homemade Yogurt:

 Ingredients:

• 1 gallon milk (preferably organic and grass-fed)
• 1 cup yogurt (preferably plain and organic Desi Dahi or yogurt) to use as starter culture for the first batch.

Instructions:

• Add milk to a large pot and cook on high heat on the stove. When you see little bubbles on the surface, remove from the heat.
• The procedure for heating in the microwave- heat  medium to large size glass bowl on high heat for 10-12minutes. (The heat varies on the type of the oven you have)
• Let milk cool where you can comfortably place your hand on the side of the pot (or dip your clean finger into the milk) for at least 10 seconds.
• You can collect the cream layer on top of the milk to make ghee. Follow my recipe how to make ghee from butter http://nutritionforasianindians.blogspot.com/2013/08/health-benfits-of-ghee-and-how-to-make.html.
• Once it’s cooled down, scoop the yoghurt into the warm milk. 
• Stir gently 2-3 times to make sure it’s all mixed well, then pour (or ladle) the milk/yogurt mixture into glass bowl.
•  Turn oven light on (very important - this keeps it slightly warm), and let the milk rest for 4 hours. (you can set the timer)
• For Microwave oven - Place the yogurt mixed warm milk glass bowl in the oven and heat the bowl for *12 seconds and let it rest in peace for 4hrs.
• Now take the yogurt out and rest on the counter until they’ve cooled to room temperature. Then, refrigerate the yogurt where they’ll keep for up to 10 days.
• You can now use your new yoghurt to start your next batch!
