Yoghurt is a natural, healthy and incredibly versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed in all sorts of different dishes. You can have it at breakfast time, as a cooling side with a curry or as part of a creamy dessert. It is actually very easy to make at home and doing so will save you money in the long run especially if you eat a lot of it. You can buy yoghurt cultures online and from specialist stores, but the easiest way is to use some fresh, live yoghurt to start you off.
