What Is the Difference Between Curd (Dahi) and Yoghurt?

In South Asian cooking, curd and yoghurt are often used interchangeably, but there are subtle differences. Traditional Indian curd (dahi) is made by adding a small amount of existing curd as a starter culture to warm milk and allowing it to set at room temperature. The result is a soft, tangy curd with a flavour profile distinct from Western-style yoghurt.

Commercial yoghurt — including Greek yoghurt — is made in a controlled environment with specific bacterial cultures and is often strained to remove whey, resulting in a thicker product. Greek yoghurt has a higher protein content and a tangier flavour than regular yoghurt.

Both are excellent in South Asian cooking, but traditional Indian curd (dahi) has a flavour that's hard to replicate with Western yoghurt in dishes like kadhi, lassi, and raita.

How Is Curd Used in South Asian Cooking?

Curd (dahi) is one of the most versatile and important ingredients in South Asian cooking. Here are some classic uses:

Raita — fresh curd mixed with vegetables, fruit, or spices, served as a cooling side dish.
Lassi — blended curd with water and salt (or sugar and fruit) to make a refreshing drink.
Kadhi — curd-based curry thickened with besan and tempered with spices.
Marinades — curd is used as a tenderising marinade base for tandoori and tikka preparations.
Biryani — curd is often layered into biryani for moisture and flavour.
Desserts — mishti doi, shrikhand, and other South Asian sweets use curd as a base.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy fresh curd (dahi) online in Australia?

You can buy fresh Indian curd (dahi) online at Velspices.com.au. We stock thick set dahi, Indian yoghurt, Greek yoghurt, and probiotic yoghurt, all available for delivery across Australia.

What is the difference between dahi and yoghurt?

Traditional Indian dahi (curd) is made by setting warm milk with a starter culture at room temperature, producing a soft, mildly tangy result. Commercial yoghurt is made with specific bacterial cultures in controlled conditions, producing a more consistent, often thicker and tangier product. Greek yoghurt is strained to remove whey, making it even thicker and higher in protein.

What is thick curd and how is it used?

Thick curd is curd that has been strained or set extra firm to remove excess whey, resulting in a dense, creamy product. It's ideal for making hung curd (chakka), which is used in shrikhand and dips. It's also great for raita where you don't want the curd to make the dish watery.

Can I use Greek yoghurt instead of Indian curd in cooking?

Greek yoghurt can often substitute for Indian curd in cooking, but the flavour profile is slightly different — Greek yoghurt is tangier and thicker. For dishes like raita and lassi, Greek yoghurt works well. For kadhi or biryani marinade, traditional Indian curd (dahi) will give a more authentic result.

What is probiotic yoghurt and is it good for you?

Probiotic yoghurt contains live bacterial cultures (lactobacillus and bifidobacterium species) that support gut health. These beneficial bacteria help balance the gut microbiome, improve digestion, and may support immune function. All yoghurt contains some live cultures, but probiotic yoghurt has specific, measured levels of beneficial strains.

How do I make raita with fresh curd?

To make a basic raita: mix 1 cup of fresh curd with 1/2 cup grated cucumber, a pinch of roasted cumin powder, salt, and finely chopped fresh coriander. For boondi raita, add fried boondi pearls. For fruit raita, add diced fruit. Chill and serve as a cooling side dish with biryani, curry, or paratha.

Can I use curd to marinate chicken or paneer?

Yes! Curd is one of the best marinades for meat and paneer. The lactic acid in curd tenderises proteins and allows spices to penetrate deeply. For tandoori chicken, combine curd with ginger-garlic paste, tandoori masala, chilli, and turmeric and marinate overnight for the best results.

Do you deliver fresh yoghurt and curd across Australia?

Yes, Velspices delivers fresh curd and yoghurt across Australia. Dairy products are packed appropriately for transit. Orders over $50 ship free in Melbourne metro. Nationwide shipping rates apply for other locations.

How long does fresh curd last in the refrigerator?

Fresh curd typically lasts 7-10 days in the refrigerator when kept in an airtight container. As curd ages, it becomes more sour and acidic — older curd is still useful for cooking (especially kadhi and marinades) even when it's too sour to eat plain. Always check the use-by date on packaged curd.

Can I buy buffalo milk curd or yoghurt online?

Yes, Velspices stocks curd and yoghurt made from buffalo milk — which has a richer, creamier texture due to buffalo milk's higher fat content. If you want the richest, most authentic dahi, buffalo milk curd is the premium choice.
