TIL,

the way to make old traditional Aruvedic ghee is not through the clarification of butter, but the slow rendering of fermented milk curd.

What's the difference?

Just the fermenting?

probably that there is already less lactose and casein in it would be my guess

After fermentation? Hmmm . . . probably, yes.

That begs the question: for how long?

well, idk what the recipe recommends but if you leave cream warm for too long it will start to go rancid

i'd say, 4-5 days max. that's usually the point where almost all of the lactose is gone and the protein is totally decomposed. i used to love that style of yogurt, was available when i was a kid. very sour, is beyond the point it won't set, quite liquid.

I do like the sournes of unsweetened yoghurt. I have never made my own, though.

when you don't ferment it long, like 12-24 hours it's still quite sweet, and it has a thicker consistency, at 2-4 days it gets thinner and more acid
