1. Full-Fat Milk

Full-fat milk contains a higher percentage of milk fat, which helps in achieving a creamier and thicker texture for the curd.

2. Good Quality Starter Culture

Use a good quality starter culture. This contains live bacteria cultures that ferment the milk and help in setting the curd.

3. Temperature

The temperature is important in setting the curd. Keep the milk at a warm temperature during the fermentation process.

4. Preheat the Container

Before pouring the milk into the container for fermentation, preheat it slightly. This helps in maintaining the warmth of the milk.

5. Don't Disturb During Fermentation

Once you've poured the milk into the container and added the starter culture, avoid disturbing it during fermentation.
