Greek Yogurt (Hung curd) is basically yogurt with its liquid drained away resulting in a thick creamy mixture that is excellent for marinating.

Want to make it at home?

Just take plain yogurt, place it in a thin muslin cloth, tie a knot and hang it for a few hours. The result is hung curd, or what is also known as Greek yogurt in English.

Use it in place of mayonnaise in dips or sauces, as an ingredient in marinades for chicken or mutton, and even in cheesecakes as an affordable alternative to cream cheese.
