About Plain Curd
Plain curd — dahi — is the quiet foundation of almost every North Indian meal. It rarely gets attention on a menu, but in an Indian home a bowl of set yogurt sits on the table at lunch and dinner as a matter of course: a cooling, slightly sour counterpoint that balances spice, richness and heat in every bite around it. Ours is the same whole-milk yogurt the kitchen sets fresh each morning and uses for our lassis, raitas and paneer, so what reaches your table is genuinely house-made, not scooped from a tub.
It is served chilled, plain and unsweetened, in a portion of roughly 150 grams. The texture is what we look for: set firm enough to hold a spoon, with the clean, mild tang of yogurt that has cultured slowly overnight rather than been rushed. There is nothing added — no sugar, no salt, no spice — because the point of plain curd is to be a neutral, cooling base you can use however you like.
How you eat it is personal. Many diners spoon it over a forkful of biryani or pulao to cool the chilli; others tear off a piece of paratha and dip; some simply eat it alongside a spicy main to reset the palate between bites. It is also the gentlest option on the table for anyone — children especially — who finds a dish too hot, since dairy neutralises chilli far better than water. If you would prefer it seasoned and mixed with vegetables, order our mix raita instead. Plain curd is vegetarian, probiotic by nature, and as honest as the menu gets.
Eat in at our 30-40 seat dining room in Huai Khwang (try the Dastarkhan floor seating), or have it delivered anywhere in Bangkok.
The rest of the vegetarian cooking — dals, sabzis, paneer, the thalis — is on our vegetarian menu, and the halal page explains the sourcing behind all of it. It sits in our Raita & Extras menu, and regulars often order it alongside Paneer Butter Masala.
