Dear Dahi

Curd (yogurt) or dahi is a very fascinating ingredient which has been a part of our pantries since ages. The health benefits of curd are not lesser-known either. We are using this superfood to the best of its ability to create some tasty recipes since long. A kadhi with rice, a raita with pulao, a hung yogurt filling for a sandwich, a refreshing glass of lassi or chaas with a meal are just some basic and most common ways we include this wonderful ingredient in our day-to-day life. Of course, who can forget the dahi-cheeni from our childhood days that Maa used to feed before going for any examination! But, today we have more than just that, some amazing dahi wale recipes for the dahi lover in you. So, go ahead and experience curd in its new avatar with these delicious recipes

To begin with, here’s how you can make the perfect batch of dahi at your home.

Heat a litre of whole full cream milk, bring it to a boil and reduce to around 4 cups. Remove from heat and cool till it comes to a temperature of 45° C. Add 1 tablespoon of thick curd and mix evenly with a spoon or churner/whisker. Transfer the mixture into an earthenware pot and allow to set in a warm place (at 43°C) for 4 hours (in summer, otherwise may take longer). In winter or in places at higher altitudes, one can always wrap the pot in which the curd is set with a warm wrapping. Always remove a small quantity aside for setting the curd for the following day before you consume the rest. Refrigerate once set.
