Sweet
मधुरदधि
Madhura Dadhi (sweet/incompletely set curd, also called Mandaka) is curd that has not fully fermented and retains sweetness. It is heavy, increases Kapha, and is difficult to digest. It does not have the beneficial absorbent (Grahi) properties of properly set curd. Incompletely fermented curd is considered unwholesome and can aggravate all three doshas. The text strongly advises against consuming half-set curd. Verses 5-7.
