Curd/Yogurt

Dahi (Hindi and Urdu), doi (Bengali), dohi (Oriya), Perugu (Telugu) or Thayir (Tamil) is naturally cultured plain yoghurt widely consumed all over South Asia. It is consumed in a variety of ways: plain, as a shake (lassi), a kind of dip (raita), a dessert (mishti doi), with rice (bagala bhath -- thayir-sadam -- mosroo-anna), and so on. It is also a very common ingredient in many recipes, as a souring agent (especially in Marwari cuisine), or as a base for marinades.
