What would life be without dahi? I cannot imagine it..so no wonder I cannot adopt a vegan life 🙂 Making dahi at home is the best and like you my night routine is to add 'merwan" (that's what is called in Gujju) to the milk and let it sit overnight in a warm place. Your long list of dahi dishes is proof that we tend to use it in so many Indian dishes.
ArchanaPotdar says
True Mayuri. I cannot think of giving up curds. Even as I am replying I am thinking I should have a spoonful.
As for the Gujju word I will update it immediately before I forget.

Poonam Bachhav says
Loved your detailed post on how to set curd at home. It is my nightly routine aswell to add 'virjan' ( the Marathi word to starter) to milk apart from soaking almonds. Even we cannot do without curd.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks, Poonam. I think I should update that spelling too.

Swati says
Dahi is a one of the main ingredients of our Indian meals irrespective of the cuisine.. nothing beats the freshness and taste of homemade yogurt.. I too was about to do the basic curd recipe but my curd didn't set properly .. Loved this detailed post and the recipes that we can make using it.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks, Swati maybe mine worked because it did not know it was a model ;D
