Buffalo Thick Yoghurt
Buffalo thick yoghurt describes unstrained or lightly drained buffalo yoghurt that already spoons thick from the milk’s solids—without needing Greek marketing. The body is glossy, heavy on the spoon, and mild. Use where recipes want body without flour or where cow Greek feels too sharp. Outstanding on spicy curries as a cool dollop. If too thick for drinking, thin with cold water or milk for lassi-style drinks.

History
Buffalo yoghurt was known for natural thickness compared with cow in shared markets.
Retail “thick buffalo yoghurt” labels highlighted texture as a selling point.
Thick buffalo pots competed with Greek cow yoghurt on mouthfeel alone.
