Plain yogurt

Dahi

5 g1 teaspoon

15 g1 tablespoon

Bulk density of plain whole-milk yogurt is 1.02 g/ml (5.0 g/tsp).

Instead of Plain yogurt

Yogurt
Use equal weight, whisked thoroughly until smooth before adding to hot dishes to prevent curdling.
Coconut milk
Use equal weight with 1 teaspoon lemon juice mixed in. Provides rich creaminess in curries, but adds a noticeable coconut flavour.
Single cream
Use 80% of the weight plus a squeeze of lemon juice for acidity. Enriches sauces nicely, though it is richer and less tangy.
