Sweet yogurt (curd) or mishti doi explained with step by step pictures and a video. Sweet curd or sweet yogurt is prepared using milk, sugar and little curd. This is a very easy and tasty desert or sweet recipe. Caramelised sugar has been added in this recipe to enhance the taste and flavour. You can serve it like an icecream.
We can call this by name "thick sweet curd". I have used 1/2 cup of sugar in this recipe. In that 1/4 cup of sugar has been added as it is. And rest 1/4 cup is carmelized. This gives an unique taste (malai kulfi taste) to the yoghurt.
After preparing the sweet milk, we need to add beaten curd and rest it for few hours to set.

Preparation time: 3 - 4 hours
Cooking time: 15 min
Serves: 1/2 litre
Ingredients: (measuring cup used = 240ml)
- 500ml milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup thick curd
Instructions for making sweet yogurt or curd:
- Take milk in a container and keep it for boiling. I have taken normal pasteurised cow's milk having 3.5g milk fat.
- Bring the milk into a boil and reduce the flame.
- Continue boiling under low flame by stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile add in 1/4 cup of sugar. Continue boiling under low flame.
- Boil the milk for about 15 minutes or until the milk is thick. Switch off the stove.
- Next take remaining 1/4 cup of sugar in another pan and start heating it without adding any water.
- In 2 - 3 minutes the sugar will start melting.
- At one point sugar melts completely and caramelises. Switch off the stove.
- Add this caramelized sugar into hot milk. Add in little by little and stir continuously.
- Next in a pan take 1/4 cup normal curd and beat it nicely.
- Wait until exces heat of the boiled milk is reduced. Then add the whisked curd. Give a good mix.
- Transfer it into a container. Close the lid and rest it in a warm place until curd is set.
- It took around 4 hours for me. Once the sweet curd is set, serve it like a desert and enjoy. You can refrigerate it for few hours to have cold yogurt.
