Description
Strained Curd, commonly known as Chakka Dahi or Hung Curd, is a thick, creamy dairy product made by draining the liquid whey from regular yogurt. A 500 g pack offers a concentrated, protein-rich alternative to sour cream and mayonnaise, making it highly versatile for both sweet and savory dishes.
Product Description
Texture & Consistency: Dense, velvety-smooth, and exceptionally creamy—similar to Greek yogurt or soft cream cheese.
Flavor Profile: Retains the traditional, mildly tangy, and refreshing sour taste of yogurt.
Nutritional Benefits: Because the excess water (whey) is removed, it is packed with protein, calcium, and probiotics while remaining low in carbohydrates.
Yield Note: A 500 g package provides a dense, rich consistency, as about half of its weight is removed during the straining process.
Common Culinary Uses
Desserts: Serves as the rich, thick base for traditional Indian sweets like Shrikhand and Amrakhand when mixed with sugar, saffron, and cardamom. [, 2]
Marinades: Provides the perfect thick base for coating Paneer Tikkas, kebabs, or meats, ensuring the marinade sticks without diluting flavors. [1, 2]
Dips & Raita: Excellent for making thick, creamy Tzatziki, dips, or raita that will not become watery over time. [1, 2]
