Benefits of Yogurt

Apart from the fact that yogurt tastes good, it has amazing cooling properties which help our body in more than one way and also keep our digestive system in order. Any stomach disorder and the best home remedy is yogurt, either sweet or salty.

How nice were the olden days? A visit to a doctor was a rare phenomenon as our grannies were excellent doctors with the kitchen as their medical store. Nausea, stomach disorders, headache, cold, cough, minor wounds, and many more such ailments were treated very well with spices in the kitchen only. And yogurt or curd occupied an important place.

Before we proceed further, are curd, yogurt, and Dahi the same or different? Yes, curd and yogurt are different but the difference is very minute. For more differences between the two, read here.

Here, for this recipe, we are using homemade thick curd only as a substitute of yogurt and it works perfectly. This is because we get curd much easily than yogurt.
