The Kitchen - Yoghurt No. 3





The Kitchen

Yoghurt Project #3



Yoghurt as Starter
Milk Cooling in Cold Water Bath



No. 1 - commercial yoghurt as starter + sour cream.
Good result.

No. 2 - prior (No. 1) yoghurt as starter  + powdered milk.
Not so good.  Rather runny result, as well. 
But drained it in cloth.
Suspect that 200ml starter was insufficient for 2ltr batch.

No. 3 - commercial yoghurt as starter.
Going with 375ml per 2ltr starter, which may be overkill.
UPDATE
Turned out crap.  Separated, with loads of whey at bottom.  Too much starter:

"Too little starter makes runny yoghurt, but too much ... makes things separate into whey and thick cheese." [source]

I'm so jacked off.

Drained off, the result is cottage cheese (sort of) or something like an Indian paneer:

Tastes nice.  And it can be thrown into omelettes and whatever else. 

If I want a cheese result next, I can follow the Indian method to do it on the stove top (with vinegar).

I'm so excited. Now I can make two dairy products.  LOL

Watched a video on butter making, but I'm not sure that one is worth the bother.

Next projects:
  • Yoghurt No. 4 
  • Arabic sugar wax paste
  • massive chicken korma for freezing
Been watching waxing videos and wax recipe videos galore.  

Aiming to make the Arabic wax paste
