Dahi is one of the most widely consumed byproduct of milk. It has multiple usages. It has probiotic properties and its always good to consume it daily. But we always want our dahi to be thick just the way available in market. Here is the process to make one.

TIPS & NOTES

Always pour the milk on a cold pan and then start heating.
Keep the Dahi lid closed and place the bowl in a still place. If the milk is moving, dahi won’t form.
Dahi formation time depends on season and temperature. Usually on summer, it happens faster.
Once dahi is formed, refrigerate it. It begins to sour with time.
