3. Preheat the oven to 220 degree F or 104 degree C and place the rack on the top. Bake the yogurt for 10 minutes. Just check it if the top of the yogurt has set, and turn off oven. Cover the yogurt and let it be there in the oven for another 2-3 hrs.

4. Then take it out and put it in the refrigerator for couple of hours, serve chilled.

Microwave Method : 

 It takes only 4 to 5 mins to set the yogurt. Check it in every minutes until done. When it is done, keep it in the refrigerator for couple of hours and serve.
