yogurt (dahi)

Yogurt, known as dahi in some cultures, is a fermented dairy product made by adding specific live bacteria to milk. These beneficial microbes ferment the lactose, the natural sugar in milk, turning it into lactic acid. This process gives yogurt its characteristic tangy flavor and thick texture. Yogurt is rich in probiotics, which support digestive health, and provides nutrients like calcium, protein, and vitamins. It’s enjoyed worldwide as a nutritious snack, breakfast item, or ingredient in various dishes. Its versatility and health benefits make it a popular and valued food across many cultures.
