If you are a Bengali, bhapa doi is something you are most certainly familiar with. For the uninitiated, bhapa doi is like a mix of key lime pie, flan and a cheesecake. The yogurt makes the dish tangy but it is also very sweet. I love to use Greek yogurt in my cooking. It is heathy and is more dense in its texture and flavor which makes it intense in taste too. Straining the yogurt makes this dish even more creamy @sarchakra
