Curd
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Plant-based Milk (In the video, we’ve used Soya Milk, Cashew Milk and Peanut Milk)
½ Tbsp Starter OR 6-8 Green Chilli Stems - Heat the plant-based milk to a light simmer (do not boil) and after about ten minutes take it off the heat and let it cool down until it’s lukewarm.
- Put it into a recipient and add either ½ tbsp of starter (starter is just some already made plant-based curd) or lay 6-8 green chilli stems on the surface.
- Cover with a cloth or a lid and put it in a dark, warm (not hot) place and let it set for 8 – 10 hours or overnight.
- That’s it! Your silky, creamy curd is ready!
You can eat it just as it is, or use it to make any curd-based recipe like raita or buttermilk.
*Note: If you’ve used chilli stems to set the curd, remove them before eating.
*Second note: save a bit of your delicious curd and use it as a starter for your next batch!
