Formula

Although the history of Bogra Yogurt is about two and a half century old, the Golden Age was in the pre-independence period.[5] At that time its preparation method was very secret. This privacy could no longer be maintained. Now many traders make yogurt in Sherpur. The number of Ghosh family members is much less among them.[7]

To make Bogra yogurt, full cream milk, sugar, sodium bi-carbonate (baking soda) a small amount of old yogurt, known as base yogurt, and a clay pot are needed. This yogurt is made by boiling and reducing milk in to a pan.[8]

Most of the workers of the curd factories have become unemployed.[9] But from 2023, the demand for Bogra's curd has remained consistently high.[10]
