SMOOTH & TANGY DAHI

Curd: A Versatile and Healthy Delight
Curd, also known as yogurt, is a fermented milk product made by introducing good bacteria to milk. Here’s a breakdown of its goodness:

Recipe: Making curd at home is simple! Heat milk to lukewarm temperature, add a spoonful of store-bought yogurt with live cultures (starter), and let it sit undisturbed for several hours in a warm place. The bacteria in the starter culture ferments the milk sugars, thickening it and giving it that tangy taste.

Health Benefits: Curd is a powerhouse of probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria that improve gut health and digestion. It’s also a good source of protein, calcium for strong bones, and essential vitamins.

Serving: Curd is incredibly versatile. Enjoy it plain with a sprinkle of honey or fruit for a refreshing snack. Use it as a base for savory dips (raita) or cool, spiced buttermilk drinks (lassi). It can also be incorporated into savory dishes or even sweet desserts.

Taste: Curd has a naturally tart and tangy flavor. The exact taste can vary depending on the type of milk used, the fat content, and the fermentation time.
