Yogurt is well known for its cooling properties and health benefits. The curd (yogurt) is also rich in probiotics that help to keep the intestines healthy.
This cheese curd sandwich recipe can be prepared with any bread. I have used white sandwich bread. I have used whatever vegetables I had in my fridge. You may use vegetables of your choice. If you are making for kids check on the spice level.
The important ingredient in this sandwich is curd. This curd/dahi sandwich recipe can turn soggy if you keep it for a long time. However, if you use hung curd/ thick curd then it stays crisp.
What is difference between Yogurt and Curd
Curd and yogurt are two very different things. Curd or Dahi is made by curdling the milk with edible acidic substances such as lemon juice or vinegar whereas Yogurt is made by fermenting milk using bacteria.
In India, the curd is often used for yogurt and so if any Indian recipe says curd, you can use yogurt instead.
How to Make Hung Curd?
Hung curd is nothing but yogurt drained of all its water. It can be made very easily at home.
Hung the curd/yogurt in the muslin or cheesecloth for 3 to 4 hrs or till all the water drains out. After this time period, pressure is applied to the bundle to squeeze out all the water and the hung curd is ready.
Keep it in the fridge to ensure that the curd does not turn sour.
