Formula

Although the history of Bogra Yogurt is about two and a half years old, the Golden Age was in the pre-independence period. At that time its preparation method was very secret. This privacy could no longer be maintained. Now many traders make yoghurt in Sherpur. The number of Ghosh family members is much less among them. To make curd of Bogra you need cow's milk, sugar, a small amount of old curd and a clay pot. This curd is made by boiling milk in a pan.
