Key Questions Answered
When homemade curd is kept in the fridge, it is generally safe to eat for a maximum of 6 to 7 days. However, keeping it for a longer period will make it increasingly sour, so it is best consumed as soon as possible.
Signs of spoiled curd include a sour taste that is higher than usual, an unnatural and strong odor, and a change in color from white to yellow. If mold appears on the surface, the curd should be safely discarded without eating it.
To keep curd fresh, store it in an airtight container. Always use a clean, dry spoon to scoop it out, as wet or unclean spoons quickly ruin its quality. Additionally, curd should not be left outside the refrigerator for a long time.
