First thing first, the yogurt we eat, which is the yogurt we normally buy from the supermarket, is of the western style, is being sweetened or added fruits to give it a fruity taste. It is commonly served as a desert.

Now, its time to focus and read carefully. When Indians eat yogurt, they do not just limit themselves to eat yogurt as a form of desert, but instead some of their main dishes are made up of yogurt.

Indians normally do not buy yogurt from the supermarket like us, but instead they make it themselves. Thus, the yogurt eaten by them is the healthy and organic one, with no other chemicals added.



As a main ingredient of Indian dishes, yogurt is used in many dishes. One of the most common dish that include the use of yogurt is the tandoori chicken. The yogurt used is to serve as a marinade to tenderise the meat. North Indian curries also make use of yogurt to give flavour. In southern India, there is also a popular dish called Curd Rice, which is rice mixed together with yogurt.

As you know, Indian food is hot and spicy, but yogurt tends to cool down your body after you had the hot curry. Yogurt is also low-fat and thus it benefits the Indians more.
