Yogurt is a healthy food for kids and adults alike since it keeps the digestion on track and is a natural probiotic food because of lactobacillus bacteria. Curd has calcium in a more soluble and absorbable form than in milk. This makes it a healthy option to use it as a snack, side dish or as an ingredient in our foods.
You can make Greek Yogurt with Homemade Curd as well.
To make Greek yogurt, once the yogurt is set, in a vessel, put a muslin cloth on a large strainer and place the strainer on the vessel.
Pour the yogurt on it, leave for about 5 minutes, and then tie the ends of the cloth, squeeze out as much whey as you can, out of curd and hang the cloth above the sink or above a vessel to collect whey.
Leave the setup for about 2 hours or overnight.
Then untie the cloth to get the delicious Greek yogurt/hung yogurt.
