Inroduction
About this Recipe
Dahi is a traditional yogurt or fermented milk product, originating from the Indian subcontinent, usually prepared from cow’s milk, and sometimes buffalo milk, or goat milk. It is popular throughout the Indian subcontinent.
Derived in similar styles, Yogurt and Dahi are dairy foods that are used and consumed widely. A notable difference between these two is that Yogurt is prepared by pasteurizing milk, whereas Dahi is prepared by boiling milk, then cooling it to room temperature, and finally adding the previous day’s mild acidic curd to it.
Nutrition
High in carbohydrates, but no added sugar, so it’s a healthy option. You’ll especially appreciate its cooling effect next to a hot curry.
