Making Low fat Dahi Yogurt

Ingredients

1. Water: 3¾ Cups

2. Fat free dried milk: 1 cup
3. Starter Culture: ¼ cup

Selecting starting culture to make Yogurt Dahi
I use Dannon's Natural Regular Yogurt with live culture. Save ¼ cup from this batch for your next batch.

Method

1. Reconstitute milk by mixing water and fat free dried milk.

2. Heat the re-constituted milk to 115° F.

It is not necessary to heat it to 200º F.

3. Turn off heat. Remove one cup of milk.  Add starter culture. Mix well. Return to the main body of milk and stir well.

4. Incubate in a warm place for 6 hours.

Incubators for making Yogurt Dahi
Note: You have to keep the milk between 98° F to 115° F for proper incubation. I wrap it in a blanket and put it on a heating pad at low for about 6 hours.

5. Cool it in the refrigerator for about two hours before using. You should have a perfect batch of Dahi.
