Mishti Doi
Also known as: মিষ্টি দই
Bengali sweet cultured yogurt made by reducing milk with palm jaggery and setting it with curd.
About Mishti Doi
Mishti doi is a traditional Bengali sweetened cultured yogurt. This profile follows Dassana Amit's palm-jaggery version, selecting that documented sweetener rather than the recipe's brown-sugar alternative.
Reduced whole milk gives a concentrated dairy richness, while palm jaggery adds deep caramel and molasses notes. Cardamom supplies a gentle floral warmth and the curd culture contributes mild tang.
It sets into a smooth, thick custard-like yogurt with a warm beige-brown colour from the jaggery. The texture is creamy and softly spoonable, becoming firmer after chilling.
