Quick Q&A
Can I cook dahi directly in curry?
Yes, but whisk it first and add it on low heat. Constant stirring helps keep the gravy smooth.
What is the best use of sour dahi?
Sour dahi is useful for kadhi, some marinades and tangy curries where acidity is welcome.
Is dahi good for summer recipes?
Dahi works very well in summer through raita, chaas, lassi and cooling rice or salad-style dishes.
