योगर्ट/दही (Yogurt/Dahi): Indian Dairy Technique

Dahi (Indian yogurt) is categorically different from commercial yogurt — it is set fresh daily from the previous day's culture, producing a specific texture (spoonable, not pourable) and flavour (clean lactic acid, no artificial stabilisers) that commercial products cannot replicate. The Indian dairy tradition is among the oldest in the world — Vedic texts reference curd preparation, and the dairy cultures of North India have been maintained for millennia.
