Why do homemade curd turns sour overnight ??

 CURD turns sour because of OVER FERMENTATION  !!!



Milk has sugar.


Curd bacteria eat this sugar and make acid. This too much acid  ==  sour taste  !!!


In warm temperature, bacteria grows superfast. 


If the curd is not kept in fridge after  4  -  6  hours, it will go sour overnight   !!!


If more than 1 tsp of old curd is added to 1 litre of milk, it ferments too fast and turn sour .
