Strained Curd Chakka Dahi (sold in a 500 g package) is essentially Indian hung curd. It is regular yogurt that has had its liquid whey completely drained out, resulting in a thick, velvety, and creamy texture that is very similar to Greek yogurt or labneh.

What to Expect from a 500 g Pack
Yield & Concentration: Because the water is removed, the volume drops. A 500 g tub of regular curd will yield about 250 g to 300 g of thick Chakka, with the rest being nutrient-rich whey water. However, a pre-packaged 500 g container of Chakka Dahi gives you 500 g of the dense, strained product itself.
Nutrition: It is much richer in protein and calcium per serving than regular dahi because the nutrients are concentrated.
Texture: Dense, spreadable, and naturally tart.

Common Uses
Because of its rich consistency, Chakka is incredibly versatile in the kitchen: [1]
Sweets: It is the primary base for making traditional Indian desserts like Shrikhand and Aamrakhand.
Savory Dishes: Excellent for making the thick marinades needed for Tandoori chicken, Paneer tikkas, and Kebabs because it won’t curdle or make the food watery.
Sides & Dips: Used for thick Raitas, Dahi Kebabs, or as a healthy, low-fat alternative to sour cream and mayonnaise.

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]
