Dahi or curd, also mosaru, dahi, thayir and perugu, is a traditional yogurt or fermented milk product originating from and popular throughout the Indian subcontinent. It is usually prepared from cows' milk, and sometimes buffalo milk or goat milk.[1] The word curd is used in Indian English to refer to homemade yogurt,[2][3] while the term yogurt refers to the pasteurized commercial variety known as "heat-treated fermented milk".[4]
