try using semi solid curd(not very liquid or not very solid), that will help u to get a good curd . 5 to 6 hrs is enough in the winter itself. can keep either in oven or on the vent. if u keep inside the oven, it will be very solid and thick. that is for sure. make sure the milk is lukewarm.
good luck.

Hello someone,
Here is how I make yogurt at home.
Boiled whole milk 6 cups
Starter Yoghurt 2 tablespoon
Pour the milk in a cooking vessel and boil it. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from boiling over. Let it cool to 100-110 degree F. (I use a candy thermometer to measure this.)
In a cup take 2 tablespoon starter Yoghurt, and mix it well with 2-3 tablespoon warm milk to a uniform consistency. Add this back to the warm milk and stir and mix well. Cover this with a lid and keep in a warm place. I cover the covered pot with a flannel cloth to maintain uniform temperature.
Depending upon the sourness you prefer, the length of fermentation may vary from 2-4 hours. Usually the milk solidifies after 2 hours with minimum acidity.

We keep the pots wrapped with kitchen towel next to the chest freezer's compressor vents where it is warmer. works well

hi,
I use the same procedure as Chitra does..and I keep the milk inside the Oven with the oven light switched on for about 6 nours. ( I have put a 60W bulb in the oven) even for fermenting the idli/dosa batter i do the same method.
rgds,
MINI

put the milk in a plastic tupper and boil for 6-7 minutes till it is hot but not boiling. add about 3 tablespoons of natural yoghurt sold in stores. cover the lid . keep overnight .usually works.
in winter if the curd has not set. put in microwave uncovered for 4-5 minutes. keep checking to see that it doesnt curdle.
try it with greek yoghurt and you have lovely curds .
