Shankari Arcot on 2026-05-30 (5 stars): the recipe turned out fantastic and thank you for responding to my message on Instagram as well
Li on 2026-05-14 (5 stars): It was my first time making it, and the recipe was super easy to follow. I've been using an Instant Pot for about 8 years, and this was the first time I even tried to make yogurt using the setting. I messaged Soniya on IG, and she responded right away, answering all my questions. I made it last night, and by morning, I had perfect homemade yogurt. Thank you for providing such an easy fool proof recipe.
