Curd is an important business in India and no one wants to mess with it! Whether you like your kadhi chawal, curd rice, raita, or even a bowl of curd with a pinch of sugar, giving up dairy curd is one of the biggest obstacles when you want to switch to a cruelty-free lifestyle. Times have changed and today there are multiple brands to help you transition and stay a happy, gut-healthy vegan. These brands attempt to match the taste of dairy curd but just like dairy curd, which few adults or kids like on the first try—vegan curd needs a little bit of getting used to. Important reminder: Plant-based curd is nutritionally superior to dairy versions—better protein, no hormones, no antibiotics, zero cholesterol.

VF Pro Tip: If it’s your first time, start by adding a tadka, making masala chaas, or using the curd as an ingredient in another dish till you get used to the taste. Works for transitioning children too.
