Yogurt Making Gallery

1. Milk preparation

Generally cow milk is used, but yogurt may be made out of goat milk, buffalo milk, and milk of other animals. You can use raw, sterilized or pasteurized milk.

Cooking the milk
If we use raw milk, we have to heat the milk at 85 C for 30 min or 90-95 for 5-10 min. The aim of heating is to kill any existing bacteria in it, especially the pathogenic micro organisms which are present in the milk.

Milk powder/sugar may be added to the cooked milk increase the solid contents in the yogurt (makes it more thick and creamy!!!)

2. Inoculation

  • Cooling the cooked milk to 41-43 C in iced cold water
  • add one cup of 300 g plain yogurt (starter) inoculation, mix them well.


3. Incubation

  • Transfer the mixture into a very clean small cup and seal with cover or keep them all in one pot and cover with thin plastic film.
  • Place the cup of milk mixture in warm bath of 42-45 c which is the optimum for the growth of starter bacteria about 6 hours or until the desired acidity or pH is reached.


4. Cooling/Setting

To stop the souring,
  • place the yogurt cup/pot in iced water for 12 hours or in the refrigerator for 1 night,
  • Next day, the yogurt is ready to be filled up in a cup combined with different kinds of fruit jam
