	There is a legend behind red curd. It is known from Nabadwip's archaeological council that the birthplace of red curd is [[Nabadwip]]s Phasitala, and the inventor is Kali Ghosh.<ref name=abp18112017/> Kali Ghosh and Hari Ghosh were two brothers, they used to make mostly curd and [[whey]]. They used to boil [[Water Buffalo\|buffalo]] milk in a gentle fire pouring a small amount of water to make it as condensed milk for a long time. The milk was turned reddish due to long burning. The two brothers used to make wheys from the milk. Their whey making area was known as Red Ghol or Red Whey. When milk becomes thick, it reaches to [[kheer]] stage, so sometimes it is called Kheer yogurt.		There is a legend behind red curd.

	Another name for this curd is Chakku yogurt. There is also a reason behind the name. The quality of the curd is judged on its stickiness. To test it, it is also seen by turning down the pot. Even a Chakku or a knife is inserted inside the pot.

	This [[curd]] or [[yogurt]] is prepared in two steps. In the first step the milk is boiled; this step is known as ''foot''. In the second step, the milk is fermented to make curd. To prepare the yogurt, pure milk of [[cow]] or buffalo is required. There is also a huge contribution of fuel to prepare the ''red curd''.

The 'foot' will continue until the red color is taken. Nearly three liters of milk is turned into one liter. The next stage of this step is burning in coal. In the case of white yogurt, milk is thickened, at that time, it is needed more time to prepare red curd, i.e. the milk density is thickest for red curd. When the milk is prepared, it is poured in the pots according to the size of the [[condensed milk]], then it is placed around the coal fuel. Then the curd is covered with socks. This step is called yogurt making. And it forms the yogurt. Various types of pot size is supplied according to market demand. The curd contains from 100 grams of clay pots (glass) to five kilograms of yogurt pots. It is the best skill of the makers of Nabadwip that they make this red curd without any outer color.<ref name=abp18112017/>		This [[curd]] or [[yogurt]] is prepared in two steps.
