Dear All,

It amazes me how each and everyone of us can brilliantly use the same ingredient in a 1000 different ways … … so I thought of exploring it further.

Each week we will have a certain spice/herb/fruit/vege …please tell us how and why you use the ingredient of the week in day to day life.

I realize yogurt is not an herb/spice/fruit/veggie but I love it and am wondering what ways you all use it.

Beside all of its tastefullness as an ingredient...yogurt is an excellent commodity to fight stress...

I use yoghurt as a face mask as well ... it totally freshens me up and sometimes when yoghurt is left in the fridge unused for a few days , I dont take the risk of eating it , but it becomes perfect hair conditioner , use it on your hair and leave for half hour then take bath and hair become really nice and silky...

If used in naan , it makes them really soft :@:

I make hung-curd to make a creamy dip with mint and cucumbers.

I add it to my salan's, life wouldn't be pleasant at all without fruit yoghurt.

Re: Ingredient of the Week - YOGURT

I mix yogurt and granola quite often...so good!

Ive never had yogurt and imli ki chutney though...something to think about. :)

Ladies, do you add yogurt directly to the chicken or make a marinade first with it? How does that work?

fried aubergine slices with spices on top of plain yoghurt, goes nicely with arabic cuisine.

also boiled palak mixed in yoghurt works as a raita as well as a starter.
