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
