Customer Reviews
This is a really nice curd setter. The taste was excellent and the curd was formed in just 4 hours. Do ensure to pour milk and little warm though. Good Investment. Thanks Zishta!

Great in setting Curd
We set curd regularly in this. Have noticed the curd setting process has been greatly simplified.. Especially the hardship we had to go through to set curd in cold weather.
Cooked tomato Rasam , and Heerekai Maskai, in kalchatti. Flavor is next level.
Also ordered spoons (wooden.).The short broad spoons are great for spice powders , but the longer leaner ones could have had a wider cup at its end . It is too small to use for anything . I can’t think of anything that I can possibly use those spoons for . Rest all good .
