Greek yogurt vs curd: what's the difference?

Greek yogurt is curd with a lot of its liquid removed. Traditionally that's done by straining dahi through cloth, which is exactly how Indian kitchens make hung curd and shrikhand. The whey that drips out takes water, lactose and some minerals with it, so what's left is thicker, higher in protein and lower in milk sugar. Industrial makers get a similar texture faster by adding milk solids, milk protein or a thickener such as pectin instead of draining whey.

Dahi: Amul Masti Dahi label and USDA plain whole-milk yogurt. Greek yogurt: USDA reference values for plain strained Greek yogurt. [1] [14]

Greek yogurt's protein is mostly casein, the slow-digesting milk protein. That's why it keeps you full and why some lifters eat it at night; our casein evidence page covers what that does and doesn't do. If you're vegetarian and struggle to reach your protein target, a cup of Greek yogurt is one of the easiest 8–12 g to add. See the Pure-Veg protocol for where it fits in a whole day.

The 10 best Greek yogurt brands in India, reviewed.

01Best Overall · Most Protein

Epigamia Turbo 50 g Protein Yogurt, Natural

Epigamia · 430 g tub

~₹6.3 · per 10 g protein; ₹325 for 430 g on Epigamia's store

12 g protein4 g sugar0.1 g fat65 kcal / 100 g

The highest-protein plain yogurt we found in India, and the best balance of everything we measure. Each 100 g has 12 g of protein, 4 g of milk sugar and essentially no fat, so almost all of its 65 kcal come from protein. The low sugar for that much protein suggests a lot of whey has been removed. The tub's "50 g protein" headline is for the whole 430 g, which is about four servings, not one. At ₹325 a tub it's about ₹6 per 10 g of protein: not the cheapest, but very good for what you get.

Ingredients: skimmed milk, pectin, permitted lactic acid culture. Watch for: pectin is a fruit fibre used to firm the texture. It's harmless, but it means this isn't thickened by straining alone. Zero fat makes it tangy; stir in fruit or a little honey. Epigamia's flavoured Turbo cups (15 g protein, 140 g) are a different product. [3]

02Best Lactose-Free

Country Delight 10g Protein Natural Greek Yoghurt

Country Delight · 100 g cup

₹4.8–5.2 · per 10 g protein; ₹50–55 per cup

10.5 g protein6 g sugar<0.1 g lactose106 kcal

The cleanest high-protein label on the list, and the one to buy if milk upsets your stomach. There are just three ingredients: pasteurised milk, lactase (the enzyme that breaks down milk sugar) and culture, giving 10.5 g of protein per 100 g. The lactase brings lactose below 0.1 g. The 6 g of "sugar" on the panel is the glucose and galactose that lactose splits into, not added sugar. With 4.5 g of fat it's creamier than Epigamia Turbo, and one cup costs about ₹5 per 10 g of protein.

Ingredients: pasteurised milk, enzyme (β-galactosidase), active lactic culture. Watch for: sold mainly through Country Delight's own app and quick-commerce, so availability depends on your city. Mango and blueberry versions add fruit. [4]

03Cheapest High Protein

Milky Mist Skyr High Protein Plain

Milky Mist · 100 g / 225 g / 700 g

₹4.1–6.5 · per 10 g protein; ₹45–50 for 100 g, ₹152–160 for 225 g

11 g protein9.5 g sugar1.5 g fat95.5 kcal

Skyr is Iceland's version of strained yogurt, traditionally made from skimmed milk and even thicker than Greek. Milky Mist's has 11 g of protein and only 1.5 g of fat per 100 g. The 100 g cup is the cheapest way on this list to buy 10 g of protein, at about ₹4. The catch is on the ingredient list: it adds milk solids. That explains why its milk sugar (9.5 g) is as high as plain dahi's in proportion to protein. It isn't added sugar, but a strained skyr would have less.

Ingredients: pasteurised skimmed milk, milk solids, active lactic culture, probiotic culture. Watch for: the 100 g cup is much cheaper per gram than the 225 g tub. Also high in calcium (314 mg per 100 g). Strong in South India; patchier in the north. [5]

04Easiest to Find

Epigamia Greek Yogurt, Natural

Epigamia · 85 g cup / 400 g tub

₹7.0–7.8 · per 10 g protein; ₹225–250 for 400 g, ₹60 for 85 g

8 g protein2.9 g sugar2.2 g fat77 kcal (400 g tub)

The Greek yogurt most Indians have actually tried, sold in nearly every quick-commerce app and supermarket chiller. The plain 400 g tub has 8 g of protein, just 2.9 g of milk sugar and 2.2 g of fat per 100 g. That low sugar is a sign of a properly concentrated yogurt, and it gives the mild, not-too-sour taste Epigamia is known for. It's the default choice for raita, dips and smoothies. It ranks below the top three only on protein and price.

Watch for: the small 85 g cup has slightly less protein (about 7 g per 100 g) and costs more per gram than the tub. Epigamia's ingredient list wasn't shown on the retailer or brand listing we checked. Most of the range is flavoured, so pick the white-and-blue "Natural". [6]

05Lowest Sugar Per Cup

Agapi Natural Greek Yogurt

Agapi · 100 g cup

₹5.6–6.5 · per 10 g protein; ₹52.5–60 per cup

9.3 g protein2.6 g sugar2.0 g fat76 kcal

A smaller brand with one of the best panels on the shelf: 9.3 g of protein and only 2.6 g of milk sugar per 100 g, with 2 g of fat. That's more protein than Epigamia Natural at a similar price, and the ratio of sugar to protein is as low as the USDA's reference for strained Greek yogurt, which points to a well-strained product. It would rank higher if it were easier to find and if the full ingredient list were published.

Watch for: the retailer listing gives nutrition but not ingredients, and availability is mostly BigBasket in larger cities. Flavoured cups (blueberry, mango) are separate products. [7]

06Best Traditional Full-Fat

Highland Farms A2 Greek Yogurt Classic

Highland Farms · 500 g glass jar · Delhi NCR only

~₹11.8 · per 10 g protein; ₹590 for 500 g

10 g protein1.5 g sugar15.3 g fat184 kcal

The closest thing here to the thick, rich Greek yogurt of a Mediterranean café. It's made only from A2 cow milk and live cultures and strained the traditional way, and the panel shows it: 10 g of protein and just 1.5 g of milk sugar, the lowest on the list. But it's also full-fat (15.3 g per 100 g) and 184 kcal, more than twice the calories of Epigamia Turbo, and the most expensive protein here. Buy it for taste and a clean label, not for a lean protein snack.

Ingredients: A2 cow milk, live cultures. Watch for: same-day delivery in Delhi NCR only. The "A2" claim is about the milk's beta-casein type; the evidence that A2 milk is easier on digestion than ordinary milk is still limited. [8]

07Best Budget Tub

Milky Mist Natural Greek Yogurt

Milky Mist · 100 g / 225 g / 700 g

₹4.2–6.3 · per 10 g protein; ₹75–80 for 225 g, ₹290–350 for 700 g

8 g protein9.5 g sugar2.2 g fat90 kcal

The cheapest plain Greek yogurt per kilo on this list: the 225 g tub costs about ₹33–36 per 100 g. Protein is the same as Epigamia Natural (8 g), but milk sugar is more than three times higher (9.5 g vs 2.9 g). That ratio of sugar to protein is the same as plain dahi's, which suggests the thickness comes from concentrating milk or adding milk solids rather than draining much whey. It's still no-added-sugar and a good, cheap base for raita, marinades and smoothies.

Watch for: ingredients weren't on the listing we checked. The 225 g tub is cheaper per gram than the 700 g tub at current prices. Flavoured Milky Mist Greek cups (honey fig, blueberry, mango) add sugar. [9]

08Cheapest Single Cup

Amul Plain Greek Yogurt

Amul · 100 g cup

₹5.0 · per 10 g protein; ₹40 per cup

8 g protein9.3 g sugar3.0 g fat96 kcal

Amul's newer plain Greek yogurt is the cheapest single cup on the list at ₹40, and it will likely become the easiest to find once Amul's distribution catches up. Nutritionally it's almost identical to Milky Mist Natural: 8 g of protein, 9.3 g of milk sugar and 3 g of fat per 100 g, with a good 253 mg of calcium. Like Milky Mist, the sugar-to-protein ratio looks more like thickened dahi than strained yogurt.

Watch for: ingredients weren't on the listing we checked. Don't confuse it with Amul's flavoured "Flaavyo" yogurts or Masti dahi. [10]

09Best Organic

Akshayakalpa Organic Greek Yoghurt, Plain

Akshayakalpa · 90 g cup · Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad

₹8.5–9.0 · per 10 g protein; ₹60–63 per 90 g cup

7.8 g protein7.6 g sugar3.9 g fat~97 kcal

The pick for people who want organic milk and nothing else. Akshayakalpa lists only organic cow milk plus starter and probiotic cultures. Per 100 g it gives about 7.8 g of protein, 7.6 g of milk sugar and 3.9 g of fat (the label gives figures per 90 g cup). It's one of the more expensive ways to buy protein here, and it's mainly delivered in three southern cities. A good, honest product, not a high-protein one.

Ingredients: organic cow milk (pasteurised), starter culture, probiotic culture. Watch for: 15-day shelf life. The mango version adds organic honey. [11]

10Best A2, Lactose-Free Tub

Skyrrup Natural Greek Yogurt

Skyrrup · 400 g tub

₹8.3–9.2 · per 10 g protein; ₹247.5–275 for 400 g

7.5 g protein3.8 g sugar4.0 g fat81 kcal

A newer brand whose tub makes three promises: lactose-free, made only from fresh A2 cow milk, and "no milk solids, no pectin". The panel backs up the no-shortcuts claim: 3.8 g of sugar against 7.5 g of protein is a strained-yogurt ratio. Protein is the lowest on our list and the price per gram is high, so it's for people who want a lactose-free tub without additives rather than maximum protein.

Watch for: the claims come from the pack; we couldn't find a published ingredient list. Limited availability. [12]

Didn't make the list: Yoghino Plain (about 5.3 g protein per 100 g, barely more than dahi), Nestlé a+ Grekyo and Hatsun Greek (flavoured only on the shelf we checked; see below). Not sold in India any more, despite appearing on other lists: Danone, which closed its Indian dairy business in 2018. [2] We couldn't find a Mother Dairy Greek yogurt in national listings in October 2026; its range is dahi and probiotic yoghurt.

How much protein is in Greek yogurt? Brand by brand.

Plain Greek yogurt in India runs from 7.5 g to 12 g of protein per 100 g, two to three times more than dahi. A typical 100 g cup gives 8–12 g. Research on muscle building suggests about 0.4 g of protein per kg of body weight per meal, or 25–30 g for a 70 kg adult [15], so one cup is a good snack, not a full meal's worth.

Strained or thickened? The sugar tells you.

Indian labels don't say how a "Greek" yogurt was made, but the nutrition panel gives it away. When yogurt is strained, the whey that drains out carries lactose with it, so protein goes up and milk sugar goes down. When yogurt is thickened by adding milk solids or by concentrating milk, the lactose stays: protein and sugar rise together.

Greek yogurt price in India: what 10 g of protein costs.

Most plain Greek yogurt costs ₹35–75 per 100 g. That's an unhelpful number on its own, because the protein inside varies so much. Here's what you pay for every 10 g of protein, from the cheapest pack size to MRP.

Greek yogurt is a convenient way to buy protein, not a cheap one. Plain dahi gives you 10 g of protein for under ₹2, and straining it yourself (below) gets you most of the way to Greek yogurt for the same money. If cost per gram of protein is your main concern, whey is cheaper still: see our budget whey picks. For a 30 g protein breakfast built on Greek yogurt, try our high protein overnight oats.

Why to skip flavoured Greek yogurt: it's dessert.

Fruit and sugar take up room in the cup, so flavoured Greek yogurts have less protein and a lot more sugar. These are real panels from the same shelf, per 100 g:

If you want it sweet, add half a banana, a few berries or a teaspoon of honey to a plain cup. You control the amount, and you keep the protein. Several brands now sell "no added sugar" fruit versions too; check that the protein is still above 7 g.

How to make hung curd at home (Greek yogurt for less).

Hung curd is strained dahi, the same process as traditional Greek yogurt. Starting from 1 kg of ordinary dahi (about ₹77, with roughly 40 g of protein), you'll get about 450–550 g of thick hung curd with around 7–8 g of protein per 100 g. That's our estimate: some protein is lost in the whey, and the result depends on how long you strain.

Is Greek yogurt good for you? What the research says.

It's an easy protein upgrade. Swapping a bowl of dahi for the same amount of plain Greek yogurt roughly doubles the protein for a similar number of calories. India's reference protein requirement for adults is about 0.83 g per kg of body weight a day [16], and many vegetarian diets fall short, so a daily cup is a practical fix. See our notes on protein quality for why dairy protein counts in full.

Live cultures help with lactose. Europe's food safety authority accepts that live yogurt cultures improve lactose digestion in people who don't digest lactose well; 13 of 14 human studies it reviewed found a benefit. [17] Strained Greek yogurt also has less lactose to begin with. If even that is too much, choose a lactose-free pick (Country Delight or Skyrrup). Our lactose and whey explainer covers how much lactose most people can handle.

Yogurt is linked with lower type 2 diabetes risk. A large analysis of three US cohorts plus a meta-analysis found that one serving of yogurt a day was associated with about 18% lower risk of type 2 diabetes. [18] In 2024 the US FDA allowed a "qualified" claim that eating at least 2 cups of yogurt a week may reduce risk, while stressing the evidence is limited and observational. [19] Neither applies to sugar-loaded flavoured cups by default; plain is the safer bet.

"Probiotic" on the cup is mostly a marketing word. All yogurt contains live cultures unless it's heat-treated after fermentation, but Indian packs rarely name the strains or how many survive to the use-by date. For what probiotics can and can't do, see our probiotics research summary.

For weight loss, choose low-fat plain. Epigamia Turbo has 65 kcal per 100 g, mostly from protein; a full-fat strained yogurt like Highland Farms has 184 kcal. Both are filling. Pair either with a protein-first plan like Cut Without Crashing rather than treating yogurt as a fat-loss food on its own.

Check with a doctor first if you have a milk allergy (lactose-free yogurt still contains milk protein), kidney disease and have been told to limit protein, or you're on a medically supervised diet.
