Dahi & Delight
📋 Product Description
Set Perfect Dahi Naturally — Handcrafted Terracotta Curd Setter
The Dahi & Delight is a 400ml handcrafted terracotta curd setter designed for households that want thick, creamy, naturally set dahi without any chemicals or artificial cultures. The unglazed clay surface creates an ideal fermentation environment — the same method Indian grandmothers have used for generations.
Benefits of Setting Dahi in a Clay Pot
- Natural fermentation: Clay's breathable walls maintain the perfect temperature and humidity for curd culture to thrive
- Thick, creamy texture: The mild absorption of the clay draws out excess whey, resulting in a naturally thick dahi
- Probiotic-rich: Clay encourages more robust lactobacillus growth for gut-healthy curd
- Chemical-free: No plastic, no coatings — pure unglazed terracotta
- Earthy flavour: A subtle mineral depth that makes this dahi taste distinctly different from container-set curd
Product Details
- Capacity: 400ml (ideal for 400–500g milk)
- Material: Handcrafted unglazed terracotta clay
- Care: Soak in water for 12 hours before first use; handwash only
- Made by skilled Indian artisans
Frequently Asked Questions
How much milk does the 400ml setter hold? It's ideal for setting 400–500g of warm milk at a time — perfect for a family of 2–3.
Can I use it in the refrigerator after dahi sets? Yes — once your dahi has set at room temperature, you can place the matka directly in the fridge to chill it.
How is Dahi & Delight different from Dahi Matka-e-Khaas? The Dahi & Delight is smaller (400ml) and ideal for smaller families or individual use. The Matka-e-Khaas is larger, suitable for 500g–1kg batches.
