Buttermilk Recipes

We needed buttermilk for one recipe, so I looked for more to use the rest.

Indian dishes take the same place in English cuisine that African dishes take in American... Soul food. :)

Pretty much that! If you ask Brits to name their top ten dishes, curry is always in there somewhere along with the fish 'n' chips and roast beef and steak 'n' kidney pie and stuff! :o)

Cool. I did not know that.

Kefir is a good substitute for buttermilk, and it stores very long. I can't get good buttermilk here, but I can get good kefir. I don't know where it rates on the no dairy/vegan scale, though.

Well ...

[ysabetwordsmith]

That depends on the type. Kefir is typically made with dairy milk. However, kefir grains will also ferment most milk substitutes (e.g. soy milk, nut milk). An alternate version will ferment a sugary water solution.

If the reason for avoiding dairy is the lactose, kefir is pretty safe provided it has fermented long enough, because the culture digests almost all the lactose.

If the reason for avoiding dairy is something else, use a plant milk kefir or a water kefir instead.

Kefir can be used in place of buttermilk, yogurt, or even plain milk in many kitchen applications.
