Hi!Pinky

you can add the curd instead of water when your making the dough for chapathi, adds to the protein content of the chapathi. I have tried it. or even to make bread.For desserts you can make shrikand in addition to the choices of curd vadai.
you can make gujarathi Kadhi, mor keerai like mor kozhambu with greens.

This is my husband's fav curry and he needs it everyday with rice; and a very popular curry in Kerala.
You will need-

Beaten youghurt (1 cup)
Green Chilies (2 nos)
Grated coconut (1/4 cup)
Small onions (3-4 nos)
Garlic (2-3 pieces)
Jeera (1/2 teaspoon)
Fenugreek seeds (1/4 teaspoon)
Salt (to salt)
Chilli powder (1/2 teaspoon)
Turmeric powder (less than 1/4 teaspoon)
Mustard seeds (1/4 teaspoon)
Curry leaves (8-10 nos)
Oil

Procedure

-In a blender add the yoghurt, coconut, jeera, onions, fenugreek seeds, chillies, garlic, salt and turmeric powder. When it is a fine mixture, add water to it (it depends on how you prefer the consistency).

-Add and stir in the chilli powder after adding the water.

-Heat the oil, splutter the mustard seeds, curry leaves and dry red chillies (its your choice). Once done, add it to the curry.

This can be enjoyed with rice, my hubby loves this dish and sometimes dips chapatis in this curry and enjoys his meals

 

You can also make Shrikhand...very easy and tasty..!

Ingredients:
2 cups curd
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (or adjust to taste)
a few strands of saffron in a tsp of milk (dissolved)
Crushed nuts - pista/badam/kaju - to garnish

Method:
Pour the curd into a muslin cloth and leave to hang overnight in your fridge. You can leave it out too, but it might turn sour. Keep a vessel below this bundle so all the water collects there and does not mess up your fridge.
Untie the bundle next morning. Add powdered sugar and beat into the hung curd till it dissolves. Add the saffron infused milk and beat a little more. Garnish with nuts and refrigerate. The consistency should be something like custard..creamy.
Serve cold, with puris or even eat it plain!

Enjoy! :thumbsup
