Curd or yogurt is a staple food that is used by most Indian households. We use it as a meal accompaniment, or use it as an ingredient in making many recipes. Yogurt is used in drinks like Mango Lassi Recipe or Pineapple Banana & Oat Smoothie Recipe. It is also used in curries like Doddapatre Tambuli Recipe, Punjabi Style Boondi Kadhi Recipe, Dahi Bhindi Recipe  You can use yogurt in various recipes or have it  along with either salt, black salt, or sugar.

Yogurt is a healthy food for kids and adults alike since it keeps the digestion on track and is a natural probiotic  food because of lactobacillus bacteria. Curd has calcium in a more soluble and absorbable form than in milk. This makes it a healthy option to use it as a snack, side dish or as an ingredient in our foods.

You can make Greek Yogurt with Homemade Curd as well. 

To make Greek yogurt, once the yogurt is set, in a vessel, put a muslin cloth on a large strainer and place the strainer on the vessel.

Pour the yogurt on it, leave for about 5 minutes, and then tie the ends of the cloth, squeeze out as much whey as you can, out of curd and hang the cloth above the sink or above a vessel to collect whey. 

Leave the setup for about 2 hours or overnight.

Then untie the cloth to get the delicious Greek yogurt/hung yogurt.
