Instead of greek yogurt, you can use hung curd. Use bread of you choice - low carb, keto, whole wheat, or any other variety. Feel free to add more veggies like spinach, baby kale, beet leaves, broccoli, etc.
FAQs 📖
Leftover dahi sandwich mixture can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days. Do not keep leftover sandwiches for more than a day. It tastes best when made fresh and consumed immediately. The toasted bread will lose its crunch and become soft.

Your recipes are awesome. But I should mention that your photos are unique. It's great how you use models of people (who pose with your food) who you love, as in family/friends, and not just some manicured, dolled up and painted models. Keep up the good work!
