Why spend ₹200-400 on a small tub of store-bought Greek yogurt when you can make gallons of thick, creamy, protein-rich goodness at home? With Tempeh Chennai's authentic Greek yogurt culture, you're just two simple steps away from the creamiest, most delicious Greek yogurt you've ever tasted!
Greek Yogurt Made Simple with Tempeh Chennai
At Tempeh Chennai, we provide premium Greek yogurt culture featuring authentic strains of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus – the traditional bacteria used in real Greek yogurt for centuries. These aren't just any cultures; they're specifically chosen to create that thick, velvety texture and tangy flavor that Greek yogurt is famous for.
Making Greek yogurt is as easy as making regular yogurt – no complicated equipment, no fancy techniques. If you've ever made yogurt before, you already know how to make Greek yogurt!
The Magic Number: 50-70 Batches!
Yes, you can reuse your Greek yogurt culture 50 to 70 times! Just save 2-3 tablespoons from each batch to make the next one – exactly like traditional yogurt making. One starter culture = months of high-protein, probiotic-rich Greek yogurt. Now that's smart eating!
Why Ditch Store-Bought Greek Yogurt?
Let's compare what you're really getting:
❌ Outrageously expensive – ₹200-400 for just 400g
❌ Thickening agents – Many brands add cornstarch, gelatin, or modified starch
❌ Added sugars – Flavored varieties contain shocking amounts of sugar
❌ Preservatives – Chemicals to extend shelf life
❌ Questionable protein claims – Often bulked up with milk powder
❌ Weak cultures – Pasteurized after fermentation in many brands
❌ Tiny portions – Expensive for the amount you get
Homemade Greek Yogurt is the Real Deal:
✅ Incredibly cost-effective – Make 1L for the price of 200ml store-bought
✅ Pure ingredients – Just milk and culture, nothing else
✅ Naturally thick – No additives or thickeners needed
✅ Maximum protein – Double the protein of regular yogurt

✅ Authentic taste – Rich, tangy, and truly Greek
✅ Endless quantity – Make as much as you want, whenever you want

Here's why Greek yogurt is a fitness enthusiast's dream:
Nutritional Profile (per 100g):
- Protein: 10-12g – Double that of regular yogurt!
- Probiotics: Billions – Lactobacillus bulgaricus & Streptococcus thermophilus
- Calcium: 110-150mg – Essential for strong bones

- Easily digestible – Pre-digested by beneficial bacteria
Why This Protein is Superior:
- Complete protein – Contains all 9 essential amino acids
- Highly bioavailable – Better absorbed than many protein supplements
- Slow-digesting – Keeps you full longer, perfect for weight management
- Muscle building – Ideal post-workout recovery food
- Gut-friendly – Probiotics aid in protein absorption
How to Make Greek Yogurt at Home (Just Like Regular Yogurt!)
What You'll Need:
- Greek yogurt culture from Tempeh Chennai (or 2-3 tablespoons from your previous batch)
- 200 ml of full-fat milk (for creamiest results) or low-fat milk
- A clean glass container or jar
- A spoon for mixing
- A strainer and cheesecloth (for extra-thick Greek style)
The Simple 3-Step Process:
Step 1: Mix
Warm your milk to lukewarm (not hot – you should be able to comfortably dip your finger in it). Add your Greek yogurt culture (or 2-3 tablespoons from your previous batch) and stir well to distribute evenly.
Step 2: Ferment
Cover the container and let it sit in a warm place for 8-12 hours (overnight works perfectly). The longer it ferments, the tangier and thicker it becomes. You'll know it's ready when it's set like pudding.
Step 3: Strain (Optional - for Extra Thickness)
For authentic thick Greek yogurt, line a strainer with cheesecloth, pour in your set yogurt, and let it drain for 2-4 hours in the fridge. The liquid (whey) drips out, leaving you with ultra-thick, creamy Greek yogurt. Don't throw away the whey – it's packed with protein and perfect for smoothies!
Ready to Enjoy!
Your Greek yogurt is ready! Remember to save 2-3 tablespoons for your next batch, and store the rest in the fridge. Enjoy it plain, with honey and nuts, in smoothies, or as a healthy substitute for sour cream!
Pro Tips for Perfect Greek Yogurt:
🔹 Full-fat milk = creamiest results – But any milk works!
🔹 Temperature matters – Lukewarm is perfect; too hot kills the culture
🔹 Longer fermentation = tangier taste – Experiment to find your sweet spot
🔹 Save your starter – Always keep 2-3 tablespoons for the next batch
🔹 Use the whey – High in protein, great for baking or smoothies
🔹 Strain longer for thicker yogurt – 4+ hours gives you dip-thick consistency
🔹 Store properly – Lasts 2 weeks in the fridge
Keep the Culture Going (50-70 Times!)
Your Greek yogurt culture is an investment that keeps giving:
- Make your first batch with Tempeh Chennai's Greek yogurt culture and 200ml milk
- Save 2-3 tablespoons from that batch
- Use it to make your next batch with fresh 200ml milk
- Repeat 50-70 times!
That's potentially 10-14 liters of premium Greek yogurt from one starter culture. Calculate the savings!
