Preparation time: 15 minutes + setting time

Ingredients:

• 6 cups homemade soy milk (900 ml)
• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
• 2 tablespoon starter curd

Method:

1. Bring the soy milk to a boil, stirring frequently. Add the sugar, if using. Lower the heat and simmer for 5-6 minutes. Simmer for a few more minutes if a thicker curd is desired.
2. Let it cool down for some time. Once it is just slightly warm—you should be able to dip a finger comfortably—mix in the starter curd and stir well.
3. Keep aside to set for as long as you would for dairy curd according to the climatic conditions in your region. Setting time would vary from 5-7 hours in summer to 10-12 hours in winter.
