how curd is made - #25111

I am really curious about how curd is made and its benefits. My grandma used to make delicious homemade curd all the time, and I may have helped her once but can't really remember. I love yogurt on my morning fruits, but lately, I have been wondering if making my own curd could be healthier, you know? I’ve read online about the process of how curd is made and it looks pretty simple, but I feel confused about getting it to set right. Do I actually need a starter? How long does it usually take? And like, can I just let milk sit out or is there a specific temperature it needs to be at? I once tried to make it and ended up with this weird mess – my friend said I should've been more patient, haha! Anyway, anyone have tips on how curd is made that won’t leave me with a kitchen disaster? Really want to get it right and maybe add some flavors too!
