Ingredients: 2 Cups Homemade Curd

Homemade Greek yogurt is made by straining regular homemade curd or yogurt to remove excess whey and create a thicker, creamier consistency. The process is simple and requires only fresh curd and a clean muslin cloth or fine strainer. The longer it is strained, the thicker the yogurt becomes, so the timing can be adjusted depending on how it will be used. It works well for breakfast bowls, dips, smoothies, desserts, and marinades. Keep the strained yogurt refrigerated and use a clean container for storage.
