WHAT KIND OF CURD SHOULD I USE FOR THE Brinjal pachadi RECIPE?
Always use fresh thick creamy curd. I have used homemade curd, but you can also use sour cream or non-flavored Greek yogurt for raita. Use thick, well-set curd or yogurt. If you have a watery curd, set aside the whey for buttermilk and separate the thick curd and use it for raita
CAN I USE SOUR CURD?
If the curd is slightly sour, skip. Mild sour curd is fine, but if the curd is sour add little milk. Avoid extremely sour curd.
SHOULD I WHISK THE CURD?
Yes, it is very important to whisk the curd well, make sure the curd is lump-free. If whey separates or curd is lumpy, it will affect the raita texture
CAN I USE ROOM TEMPERATURE CURD?
For the best flavor, I would recommend using chill curd for brinjal raita. For dinner party always mix and refrigerate till you serve
