Description

A clay curd pot, also known as a curd container, curd maker pot, curd bowl, or dahi bowl, is a traditional earthenware container used for making and storing curd. These pots are made from unglazed natural clay that allows the curd to breathe and stay fresh for a longer period of time.

Clay pots have been used for thousands of years to make and store curd. The porous nature of the clay allows for the natural fermentation of curd, resulting in a thicker and creamier texture. The curd made in a clay pot is said to have a unique taste and aroma that cannot be replicated by any other method.

To use a clay curd pot, the milk is first boiled and cooled to a lukewarm temperature. A small amount of curd from the previous batch is then added to the pot, and lukewarm milk is poured over it. The pot is covered and kept in a warm place for several hours until the curd is set.

Using a clay curd pot not only adds flavour to the curd but also has health benefits. The minerals present in the clay are believed to have a cooling effect on the body and aid in digestion.
