Vegetables are an integral part of our food and we consume them in a number of ways. For pure vegetarians India is a heaven. India can boast for its innumerable varieties of tasty and nutritious vegetarian dishes. Indians like their vegetable curries real hot 'n' spicy and so add a number of spices to make them really exotic. These are also prepared using different methods of cooking like baking, boiling, frying etc. We offer a number of tempting Indian vegetarain recipes of dishes like Navratan Korma, Shahi Paneer etc. to the connoisseurs of taste.

Ingredients and utensils:
-1.5 litres of milk
- sourdough
- yoghurt maker (if somebody doesn't know
- Fruits
- masala

step 1.
As a raw material for the preparation of yoghurt using milk and sourdough. Milk is better to take 3.5%. From milk in a soft package, yoghurt turns out bad and not tasty.

step 2.
Take cream or milk, boil if necessary and cool to 40 degrees. Even if the milk does not need boiling, you can optionally heat it to the specified temperature - this will reduce the time spent in the yoghurt maker jars for 2-3 hours.

Put the selected sourdough in the milk. If you bought dry powder from a pharmacy, you should do yoghurt as described in the instructions for the preparation.

If you decide to cook on sour cream or purchased yoghurt, take about 100 grams of sourdough, put in milk and stir well. For a homogeneous consistency is best to use.

step 3.
Add a dash of masala. Put it in clean jars and let in your yoghurt maker for the time that mentioned in an instruction.


step 4.
Add granola, fruits and etc. and enjoy!

In regular days we normally cook Indian Recipes, we always run out of time and require easy and fast cooking Indian recipes. We can't have non veg daily, what we require is easy making sabjis in different styles and methods.
