Curd or dahi as it is more popularly known in India is synonymous with the festival of Janmashtami in India, which celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna, who absolutely loved makhan (butter) and curd. It is also the reason why he is fondly called ‘makhan chor’. While dahi is most often eaten in different forms, it’s also used to make different kinds of dishes that go beyond raitas, kadhi (curry) and even curd rice. Yes, most people enjoy it throughout the year, relishing different delicacies from around the country but on Janmashtami, it is definitely a must, and chefs believe it too.
