Milk Mishti Doi recipe, Bengali Sweet Yogurt at home indiamap.com

One of the simplest yet humble and delicious desserts in India is the cool and smooth Mishti Doi which is a curd based sweet mostly popular in the state of West Bengal. ‘Mishti’ means sweet and ‘Doi’ is curd, so the dessert can also be known as Meethi Dahi in Hindi. It is different from a regular yogurt as the milk used is thickened and jaggery is added as the sweetening agent along with some yogurt. The curd is then fermented and devoured as a sweet thick curd dish.
