Popular across West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar and Bangladesh, Mishti Doi is a fermented sweet curd made by thickening milk and sweetening with jaggery.
It differs from plain yogurt because of the technique of preparation. This mixture is placed in a traditional clay or earthen pot to keep it cool and produce the right temperature for fermentation.
