Buffalo Dahi Style
Buffalo dahi-style yoghurt follows South Asian set dahi practice using buffalo milk: warm milk inoculated with culture, left to set overnight into a cool, spoonable block for meals, lassi, and sweets like mishti doi when sweetened separately. Whisk with a fork for smooth raita; leave set for thali service. Home culture carries flavour from pot to pot. Prefer clay or glass for traditional set if following heritage methods; commercial cups are fine for convenience.
