Dahi, or curd, is made with lactobacillus and although the same process of fermentation is followed with it comes to Greek yogurt, another bacteria is added in it called streptococcus thermophilus apart from lactobacillus.

Greek Yogurt is not rotten milk as Greek Yogurt and other Yogurts are made from fresh milk in which a culture of particular yogurt making bacteria is added and then it turns into yogurt.

The culture makes the final product probiotic and therefore supports your own good bacteria.

Yogurt is cultured milk which is made by heating milk and combining it with two live cultures—Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus.

The warm milk creates the perfect environment for the bacteria to grow, thickening the milk to create yogurt.
