Mitha Dahi OR Well known Mishti Doi

Mishti Doi is very well-known dessert in Western part of India, It’s one of the most famous Bengali sweet. Here Mishti means Sweet & Doi means Curd/Yogurt. It’s a fermented sweet yogurt & popular desert specifically in western part of India. As I’m Odiya so from my childhood I’m familiar with Mishit Doi as a frequent served dessert which known as Mitha Dahi in Odisha. It’s quite different from the normal yogurt in terms of colour & taste.

About Mitha Dahi/Mishti Doi: 

In India preparing curd is kind of day to day things as maximum people of India use a small portion of yogurt in their meal. We need very simple ingredients to prepare Mishti Doi such as Full Cream Milk, sugar/Jaggery. Caramelise with sugar (for colour & taste) then add milk to it stir it well till the milk get thick, to make it sweet in taste add sugar/Jaggery then in the normal process as making yogurt allow the milk to ferment overnight. Generally, it has to keep in earthen pot for the better fermentation of sweet yogurt.
