Homemade Yogurt - Yogurt Made Overnight - Ek Raate Dahi - (एक राते दही)   Do you feel like making homemade yogurt today? Yogurt, called Dahi , दही, in Nepal, is considered one of the most country's important dairy products.  It is consumed throughout the country in different forms.

Knowing what to expect will help you find your way around obstacles so you to enjoy Nepal more. One of the first things I saw after arriving in Nepal was how many military personnel there were standing around just about everywhere I looked. They were in full combat gear, including SWAT shields and riffles. Being from the US, this was a disconcerting sight for me. They just looked like they were waiting for trouble to erupt.
