Curries with yoghurt-based marinade [duplicate] - Crop woman pouring soy sauce to capacity for sauce

When cooking a curry using meat that has been marinaded in yoghurt tikka masala for instance, I have noticed that it often curdles/splits/gets grainy when cooked. I use 3.5% fat yoghurt, Balkan style - but this tends to happen with any yoghurt. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

Any advice at all on this subject would be helpful!



Best Answer

You can use sour cream - tastes the same and won't break.

What does marinating with yogurt do?

Yogurt tenderizes meat much more gently and effectively than regular marinades. While acidic vinegar- or citrus-based marinades can toughen proteins like chicken breast to a rubbery consistency, yogurt slowly tenderizes them, resulting in meat that can practically be pulled apart by hand.

Can you cook yogurt marinade for sauce?

You can even cook your meat in the yogurt marinade, Helou says\u2014but to prevent curdling, make sure you are continually whisking the yogurt in the pot and not letting it come to a boil. To get the most out of a yogurt marinade, the first rule is seasoning.

What happens if you marinate chicken in yogurt too long?

We like a little bit of tenderizing with meat, but when your chicken thighs are exposed to lemon juice, lime juice, yogurt, or vinegars for too long, the texture of the meat turns from tender to mushy and stringy, two words that have never been used in tandem to describe something pleasant.

Does Greek yoghurt work in curry?

The sauce itself is seasoned liberally with yellow curry powder, a pinch of turmeric, salt & pepper. For extra protein, and for taste, I used Greek yogurt- but regular plain yogurt would also work well.
