Learn English – the difference between “curd” and “yogurt”

dialectsdifferencesmeaningnouns

Most people use the words curd and yogurt interchangeably.

Both are made by fermenting milk.

Is there a difference between the two, or are they the same?

Best Answer

In India, curd is marketed as "yoghurt."

see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curd

Curd and Yoghurt are indeed used interchangeably in many parts of (mostly urban) India and the region in general, though probably not in the UK, the US and some other parts of the world. (Thanks to @Peter Shor for the guidelines).
