Once your heated milk cools to 97 degrees and you inoculate it with a little plain yogurt, just pour it into a sterilized jar and place it someplace warm wrapped in towels for 4-6 hours. Works as well as the old yogurt maker I've stopped using.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-51178032282113986512007-11-02T14:42:00.000-05:002007-11-02T14:42:00.000-05:00You are my hero!

My favorite restaurant makes Zahra bi laban (cauliflower in yogurt sauce, with or without chicken), and I've been trying to duplicate the yogurt sauce at home, but it's always curdled on me. I'm going to try this tomorrow night for dinner.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03713162036902849201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-28336183999467424962007-06-19T10:10:00.000-05:002007-06-19T10:10:00.000-05:00Hi anonymous, I just saw you're comment.

It also goes great as a soup next to roast lamb and rice.<BR/>You should try our wara'a 'inab (stuffed vine leaves).
