Yogurt marinating is pretty common when it comes to indian and middle eastern cooking, such as the Tandori featured in the chapter. Yogurt does the same thing buttermilk would do, which is to soften the meat and make it more tender and succulent.
I do like Yogurt marinating a bit more since yogurt tends to be more acidic and it's really great when you want to incorporate really strong spices in your meat.
@Squidco42 I did not know that milk or yogurt were acidic. Fruit is something we use far more for softening meat in my culture. Anything we can use and it is surprising how well some work with some meats. Blueberry cayenne bbq sauce is great on pork or beef ribs, Peach and apricot reduction with a sour or bitter sauce on lamb of leg is amazing. Might have to use yogurt more cause that'd go good with fruit
I hate goodie idiots who don't think and just do. Standing out less is good if you on the run or in danger. If you have a fudging god tier pet, who can threaten you?
oh my! in my culture, we also use yogurt, slat, paprika spice, spice from Korea, ginger paste, grinded diced garlic, masala spice, and lemons to make tandoori chicken! It tastes so good!
