what can you make with HM yogurt?

I'm in a bit of a rut with our home made yogurt, we have it for pud and breakfast as you'd expect, I make raita and cream cheese for cheesecake (recipe in the index) in a thread the other day memorygirl mentioned making naan bread, I'd love the recipe for that....so what else could I do with it?

I'm drinking some of mine in a smoothie at the moment.Couple of tbsp of yogurt,handful of frozen berries,a banana,a tsp honey, a spoonful of wheatgerm and some orange juice-blitz with a stick blender.It's a bit cold tbh,it's better if the berries have defrosted a bit!

I also use it in fruit jellies,just replace half a pint of the liquid with yogurt.

I put it in muffins too, to replace some or all of the milk.You need to decrease the baking powder a bit and add some bicarb(a tsp of each for 12 muffins) because yogurt is acidic and baking powder alone won't give enough rise.

I make a Lasagne with yogurt topping :drool:

Make a lasgane with a meat sauce, cheese sauce, lasagne, but for the final topping ... mix 1/2 pint yogurt with 2 beaten eggs and about 1oz flour and use as the final topping before baking (don't forget to add a sprinkle of grated cheese over that too).

If you have an EasiYo supplier near to you (James Greaves in Wyevale Garden Centres have them) you could buy the recipe book seperately to get recipes/ideas/tips.

There are a few online: Easiyo readers recipes - Carrot and Pumpkin Muffins, Banana Smoothie, Date and Orange Muffins, Lemon Yogurt Nut Cake, and Potato and Zucchini Fritters.

I make fruit fools - make an apricot or rhubarb puree, and fold it into 100ml whipped cream (so it holds its shape) and 100ml yoghurt. Adjust volumes of cream/yoghurt according to how muc fruit you have.

Erm - didn't really have a recipe for the naan breads - so I've laid out the ingredients again to make my best stab at it. I'm sure this is not an authentic recipe - but it was yummy with the curry I made, and freshly baked bread is just the best anyways

2 cups plain flour
2 tsp baking powber
1 heaped tbsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp salt
Yogurt to make a dough (kind of depends how watery your yogurt is - but I've got about a cupfull here.

Put all the dry stuff in a bowl and then stir in most of the yogurt - I like to use the handle of a wooden spoon. Keep adding yogurt until you end up with a ball of dough and a clean bowl - usually need to dive in with your hands to pull it together at the end.

Pull off a palm sized lump and roll out with a rolling pin and plenty of flour to about 10mm thickness.

I cooked these under a medium grill until puffy and cooked through - but you could do them on a cookie sheet in the oven as well.

Best served hot - and even better the dough keeps all day in the fridge if you make it in the morning and cook it whilst heating up your curry in the evening.

Now that I've got the naan bread stuff out I am going to rustle up a curry for tonight in stead of even thinking about a takeaway.

Does that count as my MSE thingie today???

Yes, making your curry instead of buying a take-out definately counts :laugh:

(Except for Racy; to count as her MSE thingy, it would have to include rabbit )

I prefer to drink mine. I buy that Milkshake mix - there is one that comes with no added sugar in a big bottle (sure its full of additives but hey) and mix it all up in a little ex smootie bottle - its lovely. I am a total stick in the mud with yoghurt - it has to be strawberry or raspberry. Also have used it with fresh fruit/frozen to make smoothies.
