Curd is a dairy product that is made from fermented milk. When milk is curdled with rennet, or an edible acidic substance such as lemon juice or vinegar, the liquid portion is drained off and solid part is known as curd. It takes approximately 6 hours for the curd to form in hot weather conditions but in cold winters it may take upto 12 to 16 hours.
